Abstract

Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is a well described phenomenon that occurs in a minority of patients exposed to high-burden right ventricular (RV) pacing. Although several risk factors may identify patients at increased risk of PICM, many individuals tolerate high-burden RV pacing for many years without obviously deleterious effects, and the ability to identify those at highest risk remains insufficient. Treatment of PICM has primarily involved upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy once signs of cardiomyopathy manifest. The emergence of His bundle pacing may offer an opportunity to prevent PICM before it occurs.

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.
