Late Complication From Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Different Right Ventricular Lead Positioning on Cardiac Contraction Measured by Cardiac MRI: a Pilot Trial
Chronic right ventricular apical pacing has been associated with negative hemodynamic effects. Clinical outcome of right ventricular pacing can be influenced by multiple factors. An important factor seems to be optimal lead positioning. Data regarding left ventricular function impaired by lead positioning is insufficient. The aim of the present study therefore is to compare right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP) with right ventricular septal pacing (RVSP). Outcome measurements are echocardiographic features, magnetic resonance imaging and clinical outcome.
