Electrical storm induced by cardiac resynchronization therapy is determined by pacing on epicardial scar and can be successfully managed by catheter ablation.
BACKGROUND The mechanism of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)-induced proarrhythmia remains unknown. We postulated that pacing from a left ventricular (LV) lead positioned on epicardial scar can facilitate re-entrant ventricular tachycardia. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CRT-induced proarrhythmia and LV lead location within scar. METHODS AND RESULTS T...
متن کاملPacing in heart failure: the benefit of resynchronization.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy involves pacing of the left ventricle alone or in concert with the right ventricle within a certain range of atrioventricular delay. It may help patients with systolic heart failure and conduction disturbances by optimizing myocardial performance.
متن کاملInfluence of Intrinsic Myocardial Conduction on Paced QRS Morphology During Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Follow up
We report two cases of patients of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) whose ECGs, during follow up, showed different paced QRS morphology as compared to those of immediate post-device implantation. Parameters of leads, including sensitivity and capture thresholds, were unchanged. There was no lead dislodgement confirmed on fluoroscopy. The ECGs obtained in device off mode showed different ...
متن کاملInduced pluripotent stem cell intervention rescues ventricular wall motion disparity, achieving biological cardiac resynchronization post-infarction
Dyssynchronous myocardial motion aggravates cardiac pump function. Cardiac resynchronization using pacing devices is a standard-of-care in the management of heart failure. Post-infarction, however, scar tissue formation impedes the efficacy of device-based therapy. The present study tests a regenerative approach aimed at targeting the origin of abnormal motion to prevent dyssynchronous organ fa...
متن کاملShould all patients with heart failure and intraventricular conduction defect or dyssynchrony receive cardiac resynchronization therapy? All Patients With Heart Failure and Intraventricular Conduction Defect or Dyssynchrony Should Not Receive Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Case Presentation: J.S., a 72-year-old man, was diagnosed with heart failure 5 years ago. Before that, he had suffered a large anterior myocardial infarction and had undergone successful coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. An internal cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was implanted 3 years ago. He was hospitalized briefly for decompensated heart failure 9 months ago, and his medical regimen...
