Key result
Alternative pacing sites, such as the right ventricular outflow tract or biventricular pacing, may provide more physiological ventricular activation than right ventricular apical pacing.
Why the study?
Does alternate site pacing improve outcomes compared to right ventricular apical pacing in patients at risk for heart failure?
Does alternate site pacing improve outcomes compared to right ventricular apical pacing in patients at risk for heart failure?
Alternate site pacing strategies may provide more physiological ventricular activation and better outcomes than traditional right ventricular apical pacing in patients at risk for heart failure.

Suggests physiological pacing strategies may preserve hemodynamics better than traditional right ventricular apical pacing; leaves open.
Manolis et al. (2008) conducted a review in Heart failure. Alternate site pacing vs. Right ventricular apical pacing was evaluated. Alternative pacing sites, such as the right ventricular outflow tract or biventricular pacing, may provide more physiological ventricular activation than right ventricular apical pacing.
