Improved performance on cardiopulmonary exercise testing following DDDR pacemaker adjustment: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of improved cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) test outcomes measured 48 h after initial CPX testing and immediately after alterations were made to the settings of a dual chamber, dual sensing pacemaker with exercise detection. The changes allowed successful abdominal surgery to be completed.

Defining the optimum upper heart rate limit during exercise: a study in pacemaker patients with heart failure.
AIMS There is no non-invasive method to determine the individual optimum of maximum exercise heart rate. Knowledge of this value is of particular interest in patients with structural heart disease who are prone to tachycardia intolerance. The purpose of this study was to define the optimal maximum heart rate using cardiopulmonary exercise testing and exercise Doppler echocardiography and to com...
متن کاملThe incremental benefit of rate-adaptive pacing on exercise performance during cardiac resynchronization therapy.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of using rate-adaptive pacing and atrioventricular interval (AVI) adaptation on exercise performance during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). BACKGROUND The potential incremental benefits of using rate-adaptive pacing and AVI adaptation with CRT during exercise have not been studied. METHODS We studied 20 patients ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) Parameters in Normal Adult Population
Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a widely applied clinical procedure. The aim of the present study was to acquire a comprehensive set of reference values for cardiopulmonary responses to exercise and to evaluate the possible associations with sex, age and body mass index (BMI). Methods: From files of 3,992 CEPT performed in the hospital during six years, 102 files of heal...
متن کاملAdverse effect of ventricular pacing on heart failure and atrial fibrillation among patients with normal baseline QRS duration in a clinical trial of pacemaker therapy for sinus node dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Dual-chamber (DDDR) pacing preserves AV synchrony and may reduce heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with ventricular (VVIR) pacing in sinus node dysfunction (SND). However, DDDR pacing often results in prolonged QRS durations (QRSd) as the result of right ventricular stimulation, and ventricular desynchronization may result. The effect of pacing-induced ventricu...
متن کاملRate responsive pacing using cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with chronotropic incompetence and chronic heart failure.
AIMS Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is a common finding in patients with advanced chronic heart failure (CHF) and is associated with a worse functional capacity. Whether rate responsive pacing with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) would acutely improve exercise performance in patients with advanced CHF and severe CI (<70% age-predicted maximum heart rate) is unknown. METHODS AND RESULT...
