Use of a novel pacing mode to achieve biventricular pacing in a patient with recurrent atrial lead dislodgement after CRT-D implantation

چکیده
Cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT-P and CRT-D) implantation has increased tremendously with increasing operator experience, eligible patients and expansion of indications. Refinements in devices and algorithms now aid physicians to improve biventricular pacing and optimize CRT. We report a case in which an interesting device program was used to achieve biventricular pacing after repeated dislodgement of the atrial lead in a patient implanted with CRT-D.

Optimal pacing for right ventricular and biventricular devices: minimizing, maximizing, and right ventricular/left ventricular site considerations.
The results from numerous clinical studies provide guidance for optimizing outcomes related to RV or biventricular pacing in the pacemaker and ICD populations. (1) Programming algorithms to minimize RV pacing is imperative in patients with dual-chamber pacemakers who have intrinsic AV conduction or intermittent AV conduction block. (2) Dual-chamber ICDs should be avoided in candidates without a...

We present the case of a 69 year old female with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (LVEF 27% on echocardiography) and NYHA III-IV symptoms secondary to myocarditis. Persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) was treated with catheter ablation in 2006 and subsequent AF recurrence was managed with AV node ablation in 2008. Prior to this, biventricular pacemaker (CRT-P) insertion was planned, but ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and causes of intermittent and permanent loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients who have undergone the successful implantation of a transvenous defibrillator that delivers CRT (CRT-D). BACKGROUND The causes of loss of CRT have not been described. METHODS The records of 512 patients who underwent an atte...

Heart failure (HF) is one of the biggest epidemics of modern cardiovascular medicine. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BiV) pacing has proven to have an integral role in the management of patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) function and left bundle branch blocks (LBBB). However, CRT with BiV pacing is not always feasible and even when it is, the percentage of ...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Epicardial and Endocardial Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Transmural Dispersion of Repolarization.
BACKGROUND Despite significant improvements in cardiac output and functional capacity with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), incidence of sudden cardiac death still remains high. Reversal of physiological myocardial activation sequence during epicardial pacing increases the transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR). The aim of this study was to compare the effects of endocardial and ...
