Complications of biventricular pacing*1 [PDF]
Resynchronisation therapy with biventricular pacing is increasingly accepted as therapy for patients with drug resistant heart failure. The complications of device implantation include those associated with conventional pacing and those specifically related to the positioning of a lead within a branch of the coronary sinus.

Biventricular Pacing in Normal Hearts
For more than half a century, pacemakers have proven to be one of the most successful medical interventions. In an effort to approximate normal cardiac physiology, pacemakers have evolved from simple to highly sophisticated devices. There is a growing demand, not only to improve overall mortality and safety in patients with ...

Reduction of hospital days by biventricular pacing [PDF]
AbstractThe health care costs for heart failure are substantial. Studies indicate that hospital treatment constitutes 65–75% of these. The aim of this study was to assess total and heart failure related hospital days as well as safety and efficacy of biventricular pacing in 16 patients with severe heart failure and delayed intraventricular conduction ...

Device rounds: T-wave oversensing: A cause of loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy
A CRT-D patient presented with loss of biventricular pacing associated with heart failure symptoms. The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with alternating wide unpaced and narrower paced QRS complexes.

Inference of ventricular activation properties from non-invasive electrocardiography [PDF]
The realisation of precision cardiology requires novel techniques for the non-invasive characterisation of individual patients' cardiac function to inform therapeutic and diagnostic decision-making. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most widely used clinical tool for cardiac diagnosis.

Effect of Biventricular Pacing on Diastolic Dyssynchrony
This study sought to examine the changes in diastolic dyssynchrony with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).Little is known about the effect of CRT on diastolic dyssynchrony.Consecutive heart failure patients (n = 266, age 65.7 ± 10.0 years) underwent color-coded tissue Doppler imaging at baseline, 48 h, and 6 months after CRT.

Biventricular pacing is an important modality to improve left ventricular (LV) synchronization and long-term function. However, the biological effects of this treatment are far from being elucidated and existing animal models are limited and demanding ...

Statistical Shape Modeling of Biventricular Anatomy with Shared Boundaries [PDF]
Statistical shape modeling (SSM) is a valuable and powerful tool to generate a detailed representation of complex anatomy that enables quantitative analysis and the comparison of shapes and their variations. SSM applies mathematics, statistics, and computing to parse the shape into a quantitative representation (such as correspondence points or ...

Digital twinning of cardiac electrophysiology models from the surface ECG: a geodesic backpropagation approach [PDF]
The eikonal equation has become an indispensable tool for modeling cardiac electrical activation accurately and efficiently. In principle, by matching clinically recorded and eikonal-based electrocardiograms (ECGs), it is possible to build patient-specific models of cardiac electrophysiology in a purely non-invasive manner.
