Why the study?
The impact of alternative right ventricular pacing locations on left ventricular function and their relation to exercise capacity was not well defined.
Does high or mid-septal right ventricular pacing improve ventricular dyssynchrony and exercise tolerance compared to low septal pacing in patients receiving a single lead pacemaker?
Comparison
High septum vs mid-septum vs low septum RV pacing sites

High- and mid-septal RV pacing was associated with better functional capacity than low-septal; leaves open optimal site selection in prospective trials.
Does high or mid-septal right ventricular pacing improve ventricular dyssynchrony and exercise tolerance compared to low septal pacing in patients receiving a single lead pacemaker?
High and mid-septal right ventricular pacing is associated with less ventricular dyssynchrony and better exercise capacity compared to low septal pacing.
