Echo-driven V-V optimization determines clinical improvement in non responders to cardiac resynchronization treatment [PDF]

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
Echocardiography plays an integral role in the detection of mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with congestive heart failure and in predicting beneficial response to cardiac resynchronization treatment.

Successful implantation of a biventricular pacing and defibrillator device via a persistent left superior vena cava [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2013
Introduction. Persistent left superior vena cava is the most common thoracic venous abnormality which is usually asymptomatic, found incidentally during pacemaker implantation.

Complex Biventricular Pacing - A Case Series

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
It is established that cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and hospitalisation and improves functional class in patients with NYHA class 3-4 heart failure, an ejection fraction of ≤ 35% and a QRS duration of ≥ 120ms.

Inadvertent QRS prolongation by an optimization device-based algorithm in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background Device-based algorithms offer the potential for automated optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), but the process for accepting them into clinical use is currently still ad-hoc, rather than based on pre-clinical and clinical ...

Acute Hemodynamic Effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Versus Alternative Pacing Strategies in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The hemodynamic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are uncharacterized. We aimed to quantify the hemodynamic effects of different ventricular pacing configurations in patients ...

The Benefit of Atrioventricular Junction Ablation for Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure Patients Receiving Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is correlated with a poor biventricular pacing and inadequate response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Biventricular pacing improvement can be achieved by conducting the atrioventricular junction ablation (

Biventricular Pacing

American Journal of Nursing, 2002
QRS widening has important clinical and prognostic implications in patients with chronic heart failure. Ventricular conduction abnormalities such as a left bundle branch block, cause ventricular dysynchrony and several hemodynamic disadvantages. The presence of ventricular dysynchrony results in abnormal wall motion, impaired ventricular contractility,

A Case with no Hemodynamic Benefit from Right Ventricular Anodal Capture during Biventricular Pacing

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2007
This case report describes a patient with a biventricular pacing system in whom right ventricular anodal capture had no hemodynamic benefit. While controlling the ventricular output, three morphologies of the paced QRS complex were obtained: right ...

Changes of Sympathetic Activity in Patient with Chronic Atrial Fibrillation and Severe Congestive Heart Failure Treated with Biventricular Pacing

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2006
The patient was a 64-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation with bradycardia. Left ventricular ejection fraction was 34%. He was treated with biventricular pacing. Heart failure improved from NYHA class III to II.

Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing vs. Right Ventricular Pacing for Atrioventricular Block

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a novel pacing modality with stable pacing parameters and a narrow-paced QRS duration. We compared heart failure (HF) hospitalization events and echocardiographic measures between LBBAP and right ...
