Why the study?
Does pacemaker location (right vs left atrium) alter the distribution of fetal cardiac output in fetal lambs?
Does pacemaker location (right vs left atrium) alter the distribution of fetal cardiac output in fetal lambs?
The location of the pacemaker (right vs left atrium) significantly alters the distribution of fetal cardiac output by changing the magnitude of shunting across the foramen ovale.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Pacing site may shift fetal right ventricular output contribution via foramen ovale shunting; leaves open translation to human fetal pacing.
Pitlick et al. (1976) studied this question.
