چکیده
The advantages of triple-site ventricular pacing (Tri-V) compared to conventional biventricular site pacing (Bi-V) have been reported. We sought to identify the predictors of acute hemodynamic Tri-V responders. Acute hemodynamic studies were performed in 32 patients with advanced heart failure during Tri-V implantation. After the right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) leads were implanted for a conventional Bi-V system, an additional pacing lead was implanted in the RV outflow tract for Tri-V. The LV peak +dP/dt and tau were measured during AAI, Bi-V, and Tri-V pacing. A Tri-V responder was defined as a patient whose percentage of increase in the peak +dP/dt during Tri-V was >10% compared to of that during Bi-V. The baseline clinical variables and RV outflow tract lead location were analyzed to identify the characteristics of the Tri-V responders. Of the 32 patients, 10 (31%) were classified as Tri-V responders. The LV end-diastolic volume was greater (246 ± 48 vs 173 ± 53 ml, p <0.01), and the RV outflow tract lead was implanted at a greater outflow tract portion (p <0.05) in the Tri-V responders. Multivariate analysis revealed that only the baseline LV end-diastolic volume (per 50-ml greater) predicted the Tri-V response (odds ratio 2.87, 95% confidence interval 1.03 to 8.00, p <0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the LV end-diastolic volume was 0.84 (p <0.01) and an LV end-diastolic volume of >212 ml had a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 77% to distinguish Tri-V responders. In conclusion, Tri-V provides greater hemodynamic effect for patients with a larger LV end-diastolic volume owing to its resynchronization effects on the LV anterior wall.

Simultaneous variation of ventricular pacing site and timing with biventricular pacing in acute ventricular failure improves function by interventricular assist.
The goal of this work was to investigate the hemodynamic effects of simultaneous left ventricular (LV) pacing site (LVPS) and interventricular pacing delay (VVD) variation with biventricular pacing (BiVP) during acute LV failure. Simultaneously varying LVPS and VVD with BiVP has been shown to improve hemodynamics during acute right ventricular (RV) failure. However, effects during acute LV fail...
متن کاملAlternate site pacing in patients at risk for heart failure.
Cardiac pacing from the right ventricular apex is the most common site of cardiac pacing. During the last decade, several studies demonstrated the harmful effects of the iatrogenic left bundle branch block, which is observed in cardiac pacing from the right ventricular apex. These observations led to an interest in alternative right ventricular pacing sites aiming to achieve a more "physiologic...

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...
متن کاملLeft ventricular endocardial or triventricular pacing to optimize cardiac resynchronization therapy in a chronic canine model of ischemic heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a proven treatment for heart failure but ~30% of patients appear to not benefit from the therapy. Left ventricular (LV) endocardial and multisite epicardial [triventricular (TriV)] pacing have been proposed as alternatives to traditional LV transvenous epicardial pacing, but no study has directly compared the hemodynamic effects of these approaches. Le...

Current pacing practice is undergoing continuous and substantial changes. Initially pacing had an exclusively palliative role, since it was reserved for patients developing complete heart block or severe symptomatic bradycardia. With the appearance of novel pacing indications such as pacing for heart failure and atrial fibrillation, the effect of pacing site on cardiac function has become a cri...
