The Effect of Steroid Elution on the Performance of Coronary Sinus Leads for Left Ventricular Pacing in Dogs
نویسنده
چکیده
Consistently low pacing thresholds of steroid-eluting leads are well documented for conventional lead positions [1-10], but not much comparative information is available on the extent and duration of the steroid effect in coronary sinus leads for left ventricular (LV) pacing. In this study, we compare the electrical performance of the coronary sinus leads Corox OTW steroid vs. Corox OTW (both Biotronik, Germany), which differ only in the presence/absence of a steroid-eluting collar at the tip, with an otherwise identical lead design.

Effects of altered site of electrical activation on myocardial performance during inotropic stimulation.
The effects of altering the site of electrical activation on responses to isoproterenol (ISO) and treadmill exercise were examined in mongrel dogs instrumented for long-term measurement of left ventricular pressure, left ventricular dP/dt, coronary blood flow, cardiac output, left ventricular diameters, and mean arterial pressure and O2 content in the coronary sinus and aorta. During spontaneou...
متن کاملAntegrade visualisation of the coronary sinus for left ventricular pacing.
INTRODUCTION Failure to achieve left ventricular pacing remains one of the obstacles to cardiac resynchronisation therapy. METHODS A new technique for the placement of left ventricular pacing leads in the tributaries of the coronary sinus is described. Antegrade visualisation of the coronary sinus is accomplished by selective coronary angiography and a hydrophilic 0.032" wire is advanced alon...
متن کاملStudies on left atrial automaticity in dogs.
The site of origin and the sequence of atrial activation were studied in 21 open-chested dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. Bipolar plunge electrodes were used to record atrial electrograms simultaneously with surface lead II and His bundle electrogram. In sinus rhythm the sinus node was activated first, followed sequentially by Bachmann's bundle, right atrial appendix, left atrial ap...

Objective: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is associated with increased morbidity and mortality therefore, interventions that halt or reverse ventricular remodeling are expected to prevent these clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiac remodeling process in patients with coronary artery disease and then compare the results b...
متن کاملAtrial pacing stimulates secretion of atrial natriuretic polypeptide without elevation of atrial pressure in awake dogs with experimental complete atrioventricular block.
To clarify whether or not tachycardia stimulates the secretion of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) without elevation of atrial pressure, we examined the effects of atrial pacing on ANP secretion in awake dogs with normal sinus rhythm and with complete atrioventricular block (CAVB), which was produced surgically by heat cauterization of His' bundle. In four dogs with normal sinus rhythm, atr...
