Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2006;29(3):298-315. The DAVID trial provided important evidence about the harmful effect that right ventricular pacing might be conferring to patients with implantable ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillators is appropriate for patients who have left ventricular dysfunction and require chronic ventricular pacing, based on the findings of an ...

A previous study observed that 26% of patients received right ventricular pacing had developed heart failure during long-term follow up. Furthermore, different studies had estimated that right ...

Periodic assessment of ventricular function to detect pacing-induced or dyssynchrony-induced cardiomyopathy was recommended when patients need substantial right ventricular pacing or have chronic LBBB ...

Patients with atrioventricular (AV) block generally receive right ventricular pacing; cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been restricted to patients with a low ejection fraction and a ...

"Ventricular desynchronization caused by right ventricular apical pacing … may increase the risk of heart failure and [atrial fibrillation], particularly when imposed on the failing left ...

Biventricular pacingdelivers pacing therapy to both theright ventricle and the left ventricle; inaddition, the heart is usually paced inthe right atrium. The biventricular pacing mode canbe difficult ...

BARCELONA, SPAIN—Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using an algorithm designed to minimize unnecessary right ventricular pacing is not superior to conventional CRT in patients with systolic ...

On the basis of these findings, we used left ventricular apical pacing to treat a 2-year-old girl with congenital complete atrioventricular block and heart failure induced by right ventricular pacing.

In transvenous ventricular pacing, the catheter is ordinarily wedged under the trabeculae at the apex of the right ventricle. Such structures are not present in the atrium.

Heart Rhythm Society 32nd Annual Scientific Sessions Patients with permanent atrial fibrillation who, on top of atrioventricular junction ablation, were treated with cardiac resynchronization ...

The evidence of a deleterious effect of right ventricular apical pacing on both otherwise healthy individuals and heart failure patients is such that we cannot afford being complacent with such ...
