Key result
Nitrogen-13 ammonia positron emission tomography was evaluated to determine an appropriate pacing mode based on myocardial perfusion and cardiac function in dilated cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
Does pacing mode selection based on nitrogen-13 ammonia PET assessment optimize myocardial perfusion and cardiac function in a patient with end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy?
Does pacing mode selection based on nitrogen-13 ammonia PET assessment optimize myocardial perfusion and cardiac function in a patient with end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy?
This case report explores the use of nitrogen-13 ammonia PET to guide pacing mode selection in a patient with end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

May inform pacing decisions in dilated cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
We sought to determine an appropriate pacing mode on the basis of myocardial perfusion and cardiac function as assessed by nitrogen-13 ammonia positron emission tomography in a patient with end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
