Why the study?
Does right ventricular septal pacing improve cardiac function compared to right ventricular apical pacing in patients with VVI pacemakers?
Does right ventricular septal pacing improve cardiac function compared to right ventricular apical pacing in patients with VVI pacemakers?
Right ventricular septal pacing preserves left ventricular systolic function better than right ventricular apical pacing at 1 year, with comparable pacing parameters.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support septal over apical pacing to preserve EF in VVI patients; leaves open confirmation by RCTs.
