Cardiac resynchronization therapy corrects dyssynchrony-induced regional gene expression changes on a genomic level.
BACKGROUND Cardiac electromechanical dyssynchrony causes regional disparities in workload, oxygen consumption, and myocardial perfusion within the left ventricle. We hypothesized that such dyssynchrony also induces region-specific alterations in the myocardial transcriptome that are corrected by cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). METHODS AND RESULTS Adult dogs underwent left bundle bran...
متن کاملImprovement in pump function with endocardial biventricular pacing increases with activation time at the left ventricular pacing site in failing canine hearts.
Recently, attention has been focused on comparing left ventricular (LV) endocardial (ENDO) with epicardial (EPI) pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, the effects of ENDO and EPI lead placement at multiple sites have not been studied in failing hearts. We hypothesized that differences in the improvement of ventricular function due to ENDO vs. EPI pacing in dyssynchronous (DYSS)...
متن کاملElectrophysiological and hemodynamic effects of vernakalant and flecainide during cardiac resynchronization in dyssynchronous canine hearts.
INTRODUCTION Patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB) are frequently treated with biventricular pacing (BiVP). Approximately one-third of them suffer from atrial fibrillation. Pharmacological conversion of atrial fibrillation is performed with drugs that slow ventricular conduction, but the effects of these drugs on the benefit of BiVP are poorly understood. METHODS Exp...
متن کاملElectrical and mechanical components of dyssynchrony in heart failure patients with normal QRS duration and left bundle-branch block: impact of left and biventricular pacing.
BACKGROUND Resynchronization pacing is an effective symptomatic treatment for heart failure patients with prolongation of the QRS duration (QRSd). Dyssynchronous contraction of the left ventricle is also observed with normal QRSd. We set out to determine how electrical activation of the left ventricular (LV) free wall differed between patients with left bundle-branch block (LBBB) and normal QRS...
متن کاملBiventricular mechanical asynchrony predicts hemodynamic effect of uni- and biventricular pacing.
We tested whether biventricular resynchronization explains contractile function changes with univentricular and biventricular pacing in heart failure patients with varying magnitudes of baseline biventricular asynchrony. Thirty patients (New York Hospital Association class > or = III, QRS duration > or =120 ms) were tested. Contractile function was measured by left ventricular maximum first der...
