Key result
Right ventricular septal pacing is associated with shorter activation duration, improved hemodynamics, and less left ventricular remodeling compared to traditional right ventricular apical pacing.
Why the study?
Does right ventricular septal pacing improve hemodynamics and reduce pacing-induced left ventricular dysfunction compared to traditional right ventricular apical pacing in patients requiring transvenous pacing?
Does right ventricular septal pacing improve hemodynamics and reduce pacing-induced left ventricular dysfunction compared to traditional right ventricular apical pacing in patients requiring transvenous pacing?
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
The authors advocate for a paradigm shift from traditional RV apical pacing to RV septal pacing to minimize pacing-induced left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure.
Hillock et al. (2011) conducted an editorial in Bradycardia. Right ventricular septal pacing vs. Right ventricular apical pacing was evaluated. Right ventricular septal pacing is associated with shorter activation duration, improved hemodynamics, and less left ventricular remodeling compared to traditional right ventricular apical pacing.
