Biventricular pacemaker upgrade in previously paced heart failure patients--improvements in ventricular dyssynchrony

Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces symptoms and mortality in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and severe chronic heart failure. There are few data demonstrating the effects of CRT on contemporary dyssynchrony variables in patients with advanced heart failure who have been chronically paced from the right ventricle (RV). We reviewed baseline and follow-up clinical and echocardiographic data on patients receiving CRT in a single centre. Indices of global left ventricular (LV) function and dyssynchrony before and after CRT were measured. Patients were then divided into those receiving their first device (n = 39) and those receiving CRT as an upgrade to existing RV pacemakers (n = 32). Baseline demographic variables, indices of global LV function, symptomatic status, renal function, hemodynamics, and diuretic requirements were not different between previously paced patients and nonpaced patients. Mean length of RV pacing in the previously paced patients was 59 months (range 12-167 months). Patients in the previously paced group had a broader QRS complex than patients with intrinsic LBBB. Aortopulmonary delay of longer than 40 ms was present in 68% of all subjects, 67% had intraventricular septal and poster...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
