Effect of Induced LV Dyssynchrony by Right Ventricular Apical Pacing on All‐Cause Mortality and Heart Failure Hospitalization Rates at Long‐Term Follow‐Up
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing may induce left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. The long-term prognostic implications of induction of LV dyssynchrony were retrospectively evaluated in a cohort of patients who underwent RVA pacing.
METHODS: A total of 169 patients (62 ± 13 years, 69% male) with high RVA pacing burden were included. Echocardiographic evaluation of LV volumes, ejection fraction, and dyssynchrony were performed …
