Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a new therapeutic option in patients with heart failure and ventricular conduction delay. We compared the long-term performance of left ventricular (LV) pacing via the coronary venous (CV) approach and a limited lateral thoracotomy (LLT). Data from 81 patients (age 65 +/- 12 years; 52 men, New York Heart Association class 3.0 +/- 0.4, ejection fraction 24 +/- 6%) were retrospectively analyzed for 1 year after implantation of a CRT system. Twenty-five patients received LLT leads and 56 patients received CV leads. Postoperative hospitalization was shorter after CV lead implantation (8 +/- 4 vs 12 +/- 5 days, p <0.01). No significant differences in LV pacing and sensing performance between both approaches were observed after 12 months. Reinterventions were necessary in 7 patients after CV implantation compared with only 1 reintervention (4%) in the LLT group (p = NS). Postoperative chest radiographs revealed an anterior lead position in 11 of 25 patients (44%) in the LLT group versus 3 of 56 patients (5.4%) in the CV group (p = 0.00007). Echocardiographic data demonstrated a significant increase in LV ejection fraction in the CV group (from 26.1 +/- 5.2% to 35.3 +/- 14.3% at 12 months, p ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

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.
