Sensors for Rate Responsive Pacing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Advances in pacemaker technology in the 1980s have generated a wide variety of complex multiprogrammable pacemakers and pacing modes. The aim of the present review is to address the different rate responsive pacing modalities presently available in ...

Left Bundle Branch Pacing

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2020
His bundle pacing was developed while seeking a physiological alternative to biventricular cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, His bundle pacing may not be adequate in all patients.

Tailoring the Atrioventricular Interval During Left Bundle Branch Pacing: Playing With Fusion

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optimization of biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with fusion (fusion‐optimized intervals method) has been shown to improve left ventricular remodeling. However, information on programming the atrioventricular (AV) interval during left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is scarce.

Improvement of Left Ventricular Function by Permanent Direct His-Bundle Pacing in a Case with Dilated Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2006
The patient was a 67-year-old female diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. She had chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) with bradycardia and low left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 40%). She was admitted for congestive heart

Minimizing hardware using physiological conduction system pacing: A case

open access: yesIHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2020

Dyssynchrony without dysfunction: Left bundle branch block does not acutely reduce cardiac output

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Six electromechanical in silico heart models were simulated under healthy and pure acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) conditions. LBBB induced electrical dyssynchrony and increased left ventricular free wall strain, while the right and left ventricular ejection fraction remained relatively unchanged.

Reduction of Hospital Days by Biventricular Pacing [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2000
Abstract The 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 ...

Techniques for Identification of Left Ventricular Asynchrony for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The most recent treatment option of medically refractory heart failure includes cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by biventricular pacing in selected patients in NYHA functional class III or IV heart failure. The widely used marker to indicate left

Ventricular optimization of biventricular pacing: a systematic review

open access: yes, 2008
Biventricular pacing has been shown to improve the overall clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure and ventricular conduction delay on electrocardiogram.

Heart Failure Decompensation and All-Cause Mortality in Relation to Percent Biventricular Pacing in Patients With Heart Failure Is a Goal of 100% Biventricular Pacing Necessary? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
ObjectivesThe goal of this analysis was to determine the appropriate biventricular pacing target in patients with heart failure (HF).BackgroundCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) decreases the risk of death and HF hospitalization.
