RV apical pacing may impair LV volumes in anesthetized dogs; leaves open optimal endocardial sites for human hemodynamics.
Does pacing from different endocardial sites affect left ventricular end-diastolic volume and performance in intact anesthetized dogs?
Right ventricular apical pacing results in smaller end-diastolic and stroke volumes compared to right atrial or left ventricular pacing in an anesthetized dog model.
Grover et al. (1983) studied Left ventricular contraction pattern and performance. Pacing from different endocardial sites (right atrium, left ventricular septum, left ventricular apex, right ventricular apex) vs. Normal sinus rhythm and other pacing sites was evaluated on Left ventricular three-dimensional contraction pattern, end-diastolic volume, and stroke volume. Right ventricular apical pacing produced the smallest end-diastolic and stroke volume compared with right atrial, left ventricular septal, or left ventricular apical pacing in anesthetized dogs.
