چکیده
Figure 1 A: Baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) during biventricular pacing at 60 beats per minute showing an underlying left atrial flutter and bigeminy. The premature ventricular complexes have the same morphology and a coupling interval of 630 ms, indicated by the blue rectangle. B: Baseline ECG, after reprograming the lower pacing rate at 30 beats per minute, showing poor residual atrioventricular conduction with narrow QRS complexes and 2 different morphologies of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) with the same coupling interval (580 ms). The red line corresponds to the beginning of the narrow QRS complexes. The blue rectangles indicate a longer PVC coupling interval (630 ms) during biventricular pacing at 60 beats per minute. C: Biventricular pacing at 80 beats per minute showing bigeminywith the same 2 different PVCmorphologies. PVCs alternate and have a similar coupling interval compared with biventricular pacing at 60 beats per minute (blue rectangle).

Clinical impact of increasing left ventricular pacing output in cardiac resynchronization therapy – the new optimization strategy
We report a patient who did not improve after standard optimization of atrioventricular and intraventricular pacing timing, but showed response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) after increasing left ventricular (LV) pacing output. Increasing LV pacing output is one of the useful optimization methods for CRT nonresponder.

BACKGROUND Little is known about predictors of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the benefits of CRT and significant variables on surface electrocardiogram (ECG) to predict response to CRT in those patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Among the cohort of 152 CRT patients, 40 pati...
متن کاملLeft ventricular pacing vector selection by novel echo-particle imaging velocimetry analysis for optimization of quadripolar cardiac resynchronization device: a case report
BACKGROUND The availability of pacing configurations offered by quadripolar left ventricular leads could improve patients' response to cardiac resynchronization therapy; however, the selection of an optimal setting remains a challenge. Echo-particle imaging velocimetry has shown that regional anomalies of synchrony/synergy of the left ventricle are related to the alteration, reduction, or suppr...
متن کاملEcho-driven V-V optimization determines clinical improvement in non responders to cardiac resynchronization treatment
Echocardiography plays an integral role in the detection of mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with congestive heart failure and in predicting beneficial response to cardiac resynchronization treatment. In patients who derive sup-optimal benefit from biventricular pacing, optimization of atrioventricular delay post cardiac resynchronization treatment has been shown to improve cardiac output. S...
متن کاملSuccessful reduction of intraventricular asynchrony is associated with superior response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is generally associated with a low to moderate increase of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In some patients, however, LVEF improves remarkably and reaches near-normal values. The aim of the present study was to further characterize these so called 'super-responders' with a special focus on the extent of intra- and interventricula...
متن کاملImprovement of left ventricular function after cardiac resynchronization therapy is predicted by tissue Doppler imaging echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy was shown to reverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the prediction of benefit is controversial. We aimed to investigate predictive factors of LV functional recovery and reversed remodeling after biventricular pacing. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-nine consecutive patients with CHF and a wide Q...
