Reversal of Pacing-Induced Cardiomyopathy by Normal QRS Axis Pacing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Right ventricular apical pacing has been a commonly used method for placement of permanent pacemaker, but it is known to be associated with ventricular dyssynchrony and may lead to heart failure. Septal pacing could be an alternative method to improve this complication but the results have been conflicting; hence, other strategies are needed. This case is about a patient with pacing-induced cardiomyopathy who showed much improvement after repositioning the leads to a site different from that of normally paced QRS axis.

Different effects of abnormal activation and myocardial disease on left ventricular ejection and filling times.
BACKGROUND Ventricular activation is often abnormal in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, but its specific effects on timing remain undetermined. OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of the ratio of the sum of left ventricular ejection and filling times to the total RR interval (Z ratio) to dissociate the effects of abnormal activation from those of cavity dilatation. METHODS Subjects were 2...

Case report A 78-year-old woman with hypertension, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treated with pulmonary vein isolation 4 years prior, and normal biventricular systolic function presented with symptomatic high-grade heart block with junctional escape rhythm and QRS duration of 84 ms (Figure 1A). She underwent dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with apical RV lead placement and resolution of he...
متن کاملImplications of QRS duration in dogs with pacing-induced heart failure.
The objective of this study was to find out the implication of QRS duration in dogs with rapid pacing-induced heart failure. Sixteen Beagle dogs were implanted with transvenous cardiac pacemakers and underwent rapid right ventricular pacing for 3 weeks at 260 bpm to induce heart failure. Dogs were divided into two groups according to the QRS duration: 9 with normal QRS duration (<100 ms) and 7 ...
متن کاملImproved left ventricular mechanics from acute VDD pacing in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and ventricular conduction delay.
BACKGROUND Ventricular pacing can improve hemodynamics in heart failure patients, but direct effects on left ventricular (LV) function from varying pacing site and atrioventricular (AV) delay remain unknown. We hypothesized that the magnitude and location of basal intraventricular conduction delay critically influences pacing responses and that single-site pacing in the delay-activated region y...
متن کاملRestoration of electrical diastole with bi-ventricular pacing.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to improve quality of life, increase cardiac output, enhance functional class, and reduce mortality in patients with cardiomyopathy and mechanical dyssynchrony. For pacemaker-dependent patients, the addition of a left ventricular (LV) lead most often leads to a reduction of QRS morphology of 30%, compared with right ventricular pacing alone...
