چکیده

We tested whether biventricular resynchronization explains contractile function changes with univentricular and biventricular pacing in heart failure patients with varying magnitudes of baseline biventricular asynchrony. Thirty patients (New York Hospital Association class > or = III, QRS duration > or =120 ms) were tested. Contractile function was measured by left ventricular maximum first derivative of pressure over time (dP/dtmax). Biventricular mechanical asynchrony was quantified by the normalized pressure-pressure (NPP) loop area formed by the cross-plot of right and left intraventricular pressure curves from each cardiac cycle. Any ventricular pacing increased dP/dtmax if it decreased baseline NPP loop area and almost always worsened dP/dtmax and asynchrony when baseline NPP loop area <0.3. The quantitative relationship between dP/dtmax and NPP loop area change depended on ventricular pacing site and timing relative to intrinsic activation. For similar NPP loop decreases, dP/dtmax increased 16% more with left and biventricular pacing compared with right ventricular pacing. In conclusion, right, left, or biventricular pacing can improve contractile function only in patients having sufficient baseline biventricular asynchrony. However, biventricular resynchronization is only one of the improvement mechanisms.

Techniques for identification of left ventricular asynchrony for cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure

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 (LV) asynchrony has been the surface ECG, but seems not to be a sufficient marker of the mechanical events within the LV and predi...

Improving cardiac function after cardiac surgery by biventricular pacing in patient selected by three-dimensional echocardiography.

We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with severe aortic regurgitation and ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction 34%) requiring surgical intervention. In pre-operative period, no left ventricular (LV) asynchrony was detected by QRS duration and current echocardiographic techniques, including tissue Doppler imaging. A new echocardiographic technology, the timing of regional volumetric ...

Acute hemodynamic effects of biventricular DDD pacing in patients with end-stage heart failure.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the potential acute benefit of multisite cardiac pacing with optimized atrioventricular synchrony and simultaneous biventricular pacing in patients with drug-refractory congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND Prognosis and quality of life in severe CHF are poor. Various nonpharmacological therapies have been evaluated but are restricted in the...

The hemodynamic effect of intrinsic conduction during left ventricular pacing as compared to biventricular pacing.

OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the effect of intrinsic conduction over the right bundle on the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise (LVdP/dt(max)) during left ventricular (LV) pacing compared to biventricular (BiV) pacing. BACKGROUND Simultaneous BiV pacing and LV pacing both improve LV function in patients with heart failure and LV asynchrony. We studied the hemodynamic effect...
