BACKGROUND Predischarge defibrillation threshold testing is often performed a few days after ICD implantation in order to validate defibrillation thresholds obtained at the time of implant. Ventricular fibrillation is induced with such testing and causes an increase in serum Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) levels. BNP is an indicator for cardiac stress. We wanted to examine the feasibility to a...
Traditional right ventricular pacing prolongs the electrical and mechanical activation of the heart, which reduces the pump function, and in selected patients may lead to pacing-induced heart failure. Pacing the His bundle preserves the normal or near-normal activation pattern of the ventricles that prevents the detrimental effects of right ventricular pacing. This review discusses the techniqu...
The purpose of this study was to determine if hypertrophied myocardium was associated with diminished cardiac function, restricted oxygen supply, or oxygen consumption during tachycardia. Myocardial oxygen supply and oxygen consumption were determined during baseline and atrial pacing conditions 30 days after New Zealand White rabbits were prepared as one-kidney, one clip Goldblatt hypertensive...
Repolarization alternans is a harbinger of sudden cardiac death, particularly when it becomes spatially discordant. Alternans, a beat-to-beat alternation in the action potential duration (APD) and intracellular Ca (Cai), can arise from either tissue heterogeneities or dynamic factors. Distinguishing between these mechanisms in normal cardiac tissue is difficult because of inherent complex three...
BACKGROUND Dual chamber pacemakers (single chamber pacing dual chamber sensing cardiac pacemaker (VDD) and dual chamber pacing and sensing cardiac pacemaker (DDD)) are being used frequently in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to verify the safety and performance of the VDD and DDD pacing systems, and to evaluate the differences between two pacing modes with regard to atrial s...
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using endocardial left ventricular (LV) pacing may be superior to conventional CRT. We studied the acute hemodynamic response to conventional CRT and LV pacing from different endocardial sites using a combined cardiac MRI and LV noncontact mapping (NCM) protocol to gain insights into the underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen pati...
