The effect of the atrial pacing site on the total atrial activation time

Abstract

The effect of dual site pacing for prevention of atrial fibrillation may be due to synchronization of right and left atrial activation. Little is known, however, about the effect of pacing from single right atrial sites on differences in interatrial conduction. Twenty-eight patients without structural heart disease were studied following radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias. Pacing was performed using standard multipolar catheters from the presumed insertion site of Bachmann's bundle, the coronary sinus ostium, the high lateral right atrium, and the right atrial appendage (n = 8 patients). Bipolar recording was performed from the distal coronary sinus, the high and low lateral right atrium, and the posterolateral left atrium (n = 13 patients). The longest conduction time from each pacing to each recording site was considered the total atrial activation time for the respective pacing site. During high right atrial pacing, the total atrial activation time was determined by the conduction to the distal coronary sinus (118 +/- 18 ms), during coronary sinus ostium pacing by the conduction to the high right atrium (94 +/- 18 ms), and during Bachmann's bundle pacing by the conduction to the distal coronary ...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.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. 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.

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.
