Intracardiac electrogram method of VV-delay optimization in biventricular pacemakers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricle to ventricle (VV) delay optimization can provide an additional benefit to cardiac resynchronization therapy, but the methods currently used for optimization are time consuming and operator-dependent. We present two cases of VV-delay optimization with the use of a new intracardiac electrogram method. (Cardiol J 2007; 14: 305-310).

Comparison of different approaches for optimization of atrioventricular and interventricular delay in biventricular pacing.
AIMS It has been shown that optimizing atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (VV) delay improves cardiac performance in patients with biventricular pacemakers. However, there is no standard method for optimization available yet. The aim of this study was to compare echocardiographic parameters-displacement imaging, A wave duration, and aortic velocity time integral (VTI)-and acoustic cardi...
متن کاملReliability Of A Novel Intracardiac Electrogram Method For AV And VV Delay Optimization And Comparability To Echocardiography Procedure For Determining Optimal Conduction Delays In CRT Patients
BACKGROUND Echocardiography is widely used to optimize CRT programming. A novel intracardiac electrogram method (IEGM) was recently developed as an automated programmer-based method, designed to calculate optimal atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (VV) delays and provide optimized delay values as an alternative to standard echocardiographic assessment. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed a...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy during rest and exercise: comparison of two optimization methods
AIMS Optimal exercise programming of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices is unknown. We aimed to: (i) investigate variations in optimal atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (VV) delays from rest to exercise, assessed by both echocardiography and an automated intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) method; (ii) evaluate the acute haemodynamic impact of CRT optimization performed during...
متن کاملAtrioventricular and interventricular delay optimization and response quantification in biventricular pacing: arrival of reliable clinical algorithms and research protocols, and how to distinguish them from unreliable counterparts.
In this issue of the journal, Bogaard et al. assess the achievable haemodynamic increment within individuals of optimizing atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (VV) delays. Biventricular pacing, or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), arguably the greatest advancement in the treatment of heart failure in the last decade, causes immediate increases in haemodynamics and then improvement...
متن کاملWhether noninvasive optimization of AV and VV delays improves the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
BACKGROUND Device optimization is not routinely performed in patients who underwent cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implantation. Noninvasive optimization of CRT devices by measurement of cardiac output (CO) can be used as a simple method to assess ventricular systolic performance. The aim of this study was to assess whether optimization of atrioventricular (AV) and interventricu...
