Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Left Ventricular Dysfunction Induced by Chronic Right Ventricular Pacing in a Child
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proven its value in adult patients with congestive heart failure of low ejection fraction and wide QRS duration. Contrast to adult patients, CRT has been rarely applied for young patients. We report on a 9-yr-old boy with progressive left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction following chronic VVI pacemaker therapy for congenital complete atrioventricular block associated with maternal anti-SSA/Ro and SSB/La antibody. His LV dysfunction was improved after epicardially established CRT.

Patient Selection for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a relatively new therapy for patients with symptomatic heart failure resulting from systolic dysfunction. CRT is achieved by simultaneously pacing both the left and right ventricles. Biventricular pacing resynchronizes the timing of global left ventricular depolarization and improves mechanical contractility and mitral regurgitation. Published clinical...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients with Ebstein's Anomaly.
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets. It is often complicated with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction as well as right-sided abnormalities. On the other hand, in the presence of LV dysfunction, right ventricular pacing is likely to aggravate the diseased LV function, which is termed pacemake...
متن کاملChronic Right Ventricular Pacing in the Heart Failure Population
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review the trials that have demonstrated potentially harmful effects from right ventricular (RV) apical pacing as well as reviewing the evidence of alternative RV pacing sites and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for patients who have heart failure and atrioventricular (AV) block. RECENT FINDINGS The role of CRT in patients with AV block and impaired left ventricul...
متن کاملSimultaneous His Bundle and Left Ventricular Pacing for Optimal Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Delivery
The beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have been evaluated in several trials, and different degrees of response to CRT have been reported; indeed, the optimization of pacing sites and stimulation timing seems to be a major determinant of the hemodynamic response. For standard CRT delivery, the atrioventricular pacing interval is shortened to ensure consistent left ven...
متن کاملSimultaneous His Bundle and Left Ventricular Pacing for Optimal Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Delivery: Acute Hemodynamic Assessment by Pressure-Volume Loops.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have investigated the role of intrinsic conduction in optimizing cardiac resynchronization therapy. We investigated the role of fusing pacing-induced activation and intrinsic conduction in cardiac resynchronization therapy by evaluating the acute hemodynamic effects of simultaneous His-bundle (HIS) and left ventricular (LV) pacing. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 11...
