Primary results from the SmartDelay determined AV optimization: a comparison to other AV delay methods used in cardiac resynchronization therapy (SMART-AV) trial: a randomized trial comparing empirical, echocardiography-guided, and algorithmic atrioventricular delay programming in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
BACKGROUND one variable that may influence cardiac resynchronization therapy response is the programmed atrioventricular (AV) delay. The SmartDelay determined av optimization: a comparison to other AV delay methods used in cardiac resynchronization therapy (SMART-AV) trial prospectively randomized patients to a fixed empirical AV delay (120 milliseconds), echocardiographically optimized AV dela...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy during rest and exercise: comparison of two optimization methods
AIMS Optimal exercise programming of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices is unknown. We aimed to: (i) investigate variations in optimal atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (VV) delays from rest to exercise, assessed by both echocardiography and an automated intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) method; (ii) evaluate the acute haemodynamic impact of CRT optimization performed during...
متن کاملRandomized prospective trial of atrioventricular delay programming for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine if AV delay optimization with continuous-wave Doppler aortic velocity-time integral (VTI) is clinically superior to an empiric program in patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for severe heart failure. BACKGROUND The impact of AV delay programming on clinical outcomes associated with CRT is unknown. METHODS A rand...
متن کاملAcute Beneficial Hemodynamic Effects of a Novel 3D-Echocardiographic Optimization Protocol in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
BACKGROUND Post-implantation therapies to optimize cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) focus on adjustments of the atrio-ventricular (AV) delay and ventricular-to-ventricular (VV) interval. However, there is little consensus on how to achieve best resynchronization with these parameters. The aim of this study was to examine a novel combination of doppler echocardiography (DE) and three-dime...
متن کاملDefinition of the Optimal Atrioventricular Delay by Simultaneous Measurement of Electrocardiographic and Doppler Echocardiographic Parameters
In atrioventricular (AV) block patients, AV synchrony can be restored by implanting DDD pacing systems if an individual optimization of the pacemaker AV delay is performed. If the latter is neglected and the AV delay is left at nominal settings, adverse hemodynamic effects may develop. Therefore, several methods were proposed to calculate or to estimate the individual hemodynamically optimal le...
