Electrical latency predicts the optimal left ventricular endocardial pacing site: Results from a multicentre international registry
EP Europace May 02, 2018
Sieniewicz BJ, et al. - Investigators examined the link between factors known to impact left ventricular (LV) contractility while delivering biventricular endocardial (BIVENDO) pacing at a variety of LV endocardial (LVENDO) locations. The enrollment consisted of 104 patients incorporating 687 endocardial and 93 epicardial pacing locations. Identifying viable LVENDO tissue which exhibited late electrical activation for the detection of the optimal BiVENDO pacing site is key. Greater improvements in acute hemodynamic response were achieved by stimulating late activating tissue (LVLED >50%). Nevertheless, the optimal location was frequently not the site of latest activation.
