Abstract

This study was designed to show the influence of right ventricular pacing site on left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during pacing treatment of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Atrioventricular synchronous pacing has been reported to reduce left ventricular outflow obstruction and symptoms in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. A paradoxic septal movement induced by right ventricular pacing has been implicated as the mechanism behind the reduced left ventricular outflow tract obstruction; however, the importance of pacing site has not been clarified. Cardiac output, measured invasively, and left ventricular outflow tract gradient, estimated by Doppler echocardiography, were studied in 15 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Measurements were made with the right ventricular electrode in the septal and apical positions during temporary pacing and during sinus rhythm. Right ventricular apical pacing reduced the outflow tract gradient in all 15 patients to a mean +/- SD of 38 +/- 24 mm Hg from 96 +/- 33 mm Hg during sinus rhythm. During high septal pacing the outflow tract gradient was not reduced, remaining at 93 +/- 44 mm Hg. No significant changes in cardiac outp...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
