Effect of Cardiac Resynchronization on Myocardial Efficiency and Regional Oxidative Metabolism

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated increased left ventricular contractility with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using atriobiventricular stimulation. This study evaluated the effect of CRT on myocardial oxidative metabolism and efficiency. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eight patients with New York Heart Association functional class III-IV congestive heart failure were studied during atrial pacing (control) and atriobiventricular …
