Abstract

Our objective was to test the hypothesis that novel angle-corrected radial strain imaging can quantify left ventricular dyssynchrony associated with contractile impairment and improved with biventricular pacing. Eight open-chest dogs were studied by novel angle-corrected color-coded radial strain imaging and high-fidelity pressure-conductance catheters recording pressure-volume loops. Heart rate was controlled by right atrial pacing and all timing intervals were corrected by R-R interval (corrected interval = measured interval/(R-R interval)(1/2)). Left bundle branch block, simulated by right ventricular free wall pacing, resulted in marked radial dyssynchrony, which we defined as maximal time difference between peak segmental strain, from 39 +/- 17 to 354 +/- 49 milliseconds and stroke work decreased from 157 +/- 40 to 60 +/- 37 mJ, (P < .005 vs baseline). Depression of contractility by high-dose esmolol (end-systolic pressure-volume relationship from 5.7 +/- 2.4 to 3.6 +/- 1.0 mm Hg/mL) was associated with augmented dyssynchrony to 388 +/- 53 milliseconds (P < .05 vs baseline right ventricular pacing). Biventricular pacing improved dyssynchrony to 55 +/- 19 milliseconds and stroke work to 143 +/- 33 mJ (P < .05 vs right ventr...Continue Reading

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

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.
