The successful treatment of end stage of heart failure associated with complete right bundle branch block with biventricular pacemaker placement.

چکیده
Biventricular pacing has been used to treat patients with symptomatic heart failure, systolic left ventricular dysfunction and intraventricular conduction delays. This modality is usually reserved for the treatment of patients with a left bundle branch block pattern on electrocardiogram. We report the successful use of biventricular pacing in a patient with heart failure and a right bundle branch block conduction delay.

Cardiac resynchronization improves coronary blood flow.
Asynchronous ventricular activation, induced by left bundle branch block, is known to have deleterious effects on the systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle (LV). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proposed as a complementary method to improve the LV systolic performance by restoring the synchronized contraction patterns in patients with advanced heart failure and ...

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is a recognised therapy for the management of severe left ventricular dysfunction, advanced congestive cardiac failure (NYHA III or IV), ventricular dyssynchrony (either broad LBBB or mechanical dyssynchrony on echocardiography) and failure of optimal medical therapy to achieve improvement in clinical status. Upgrading right ventricular pacemakers or defi...
متن کاملVentricular asystole during pulmonary artery catheter insertion.
669 September 2015 A the overall pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use has decreased, it remains a valuable tool in select patients. PAC insertion may result in ventricular or supraventricular dysrhythmias due to contact of the catheter with the cardiac chamber walls. The use of balloon-tipped catheters during insertion serves to increase the catheter tip surface area, thereby mitigating applied ...
متن کاملMechanical resynchronisation in biventricular pacing illustrated by real time transthoracic three dimensional echocardiography.
A 74 year old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and right bundle branch block underwent implantation of a biventricular pacemaker for treatment of severe heart failure. When reviewed six weeks later his New York Heart Association functional class had improved from III to I. Using the Sonos 7500 Live 3D system, a real time transthoracic three dimensional echocardiogram was performed in the presenc...
متن کاملConjoined Inferior Pulmonary Veins during Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Prevalence and Novel Approach for Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Cryoballoon.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy is an established treatment modality in heart failure. Though non-response is a serious issue. To address this issue, a good understanding of the electrical activation during left bundle branch block, biventricular, as well as right- and left ventricular pacing is needed. This way by interpreting the 12-lead electrocardiogram, possible reasons for suboptimal tr...
