Biventricular Pacing in Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a common, debilitating and usually lethal condition responsible for enormous burden on health care. The recent trials have shown improvement in morbidity and mortality with ACE inhibitors and beta blockers1-3. However, despite this the overall prognosis remains dismal. The other alternative of cardiac transplantation has several limitations including the donor ...
متن کاملProgression of heart failure in right univentricular pacing compared to biventricular pacing.
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves hemodynamics and symptoms of heart failure by reducing ventricular dyssynchronity. Conversely, recent studies have demonstrated that right univentricular pacing in patients with an ejection fraction below 40% aggravates heart failure. In this retrospective study, we compared progression of disease in patients with mild to moderate hear...

متن کاملHeart 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?
OBJECTIVES The goal of this analysis was to determine the appropriate biventricular pacing target in patients with heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) decreases the risk of death and HF hospitalization. However, the appropriate amount of biventricular pacing is ill-defined. METHODS Mortality and HF hospitalization data from patients undergoing CRT in 2 tri...
متن کاملHeart failure devices: implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and biventricular pacing therapy.
Although the age-adjusted mortality from heart disease has declined in the United States, cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death.1,2 Patients with cardiac disease generally die of one of 2 causes: sudden, unexpected cardiac death or progressive heart failure. Chronic heart failure (CHF) has become an epidemic in the United States. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) th...
