Biventricular pacing in heart failure: update on results from clinical trials
Biventricular pacing or resynchronisation therapy is a non-pharmacological therapy for patients with chronic heart failure. Since being originally described in 1994, biventricular pacing has become a subject of intense interest and investigation. This review analyses the results reported in observational series and randomised trials, and seeks to answer two questions. If it works, why does it w...
متن کاملBiventricular pacing in a patient with ventilatory and inotropic dependant heart failure following coronary artery by-pass surgery.
Resynchronisation of intra- and interventricular conduction delay by biventricular pacing has become a proven therapy for selected heart failure patients. We present a case of biventricular pacing, used with great success, as a 'bail out' for a patient with refractory congestive heart failure following by-pass surgery.
متن کاملBi-ventricular pacing in congestive cardiac failure. Current experience and future directions. The Imperial College Cardiac Electrophysiology Group.
Despite many recent advances in the medical management of congestive cardiac failure, specifically with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and betablockade, the prognosis and quality of life of patients with heart failure remains poor. Recent reports have suggested that intervention with biventricular pacing may help a subgroup of patients with heart failure. The intention of this review ...
متن کاملAcute hemodynamic effects of biventricular DDD pacing in patients with end-stage heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the potential acute benefit of multisite cardiac pacing with optimized atrioventricular synchrony and simultaneous biventricular pacing in patients with drug-refractory congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND Prognosis and quality of life in severe CHF are poor. Various nonpharmacological therapies have been evaluated but are restricted in the...
متن کاملBiventricular pacing in patients with severe heart failure: has the time come?
In recent years there has been a growing interest in using cardiac pacing as additive treatment in severe heart failure. It is estimated that 30% of patients with severe heart failure have intraventricular conduction disturbances mechanically characterised by a discoordinate ventricular contraction pattern and wide QRS complexes. 1 Multisite biven-tricular pacing, which restores the synchronisa...
