Key result
Right atrial pacing improves cardiac output in cardiogenic shock with right ventricular infarction.
Why the study?
Right ventricular failure complicating infarction with left ventricular failure and shock lacks effective management strategies beyond volume expansion, afterload reduction, and inotropes.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In a patient with left ventricular failure complicated by shock and impairment of right ventricular function caused by an infarct, right atrial pacing improved cardiac output. We believe right atrial pacing offers an alternative to plasma volume expansion, afterload reducing agents, and inotropic drugs.
