in patients with diastolic dysfunction. In a prospective study of 344 patients with heart failure
and sinus rhythm, the onset of AF was associated with highly significant worsening of the …

Background: The purpose of this article is to critically review the data accumulated to date
from studies evaluating the hemodynamic and clinical effects of right ventricular apical …

Background Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing
may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether …

Background Clinical benefits from His bundle pacing (HBP) in heart failure patients with
preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction are still inconclusive. This study …

Introduction: Emerging data have suggested that right ventricular (RV) apical pacing results
in progressive left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and contributes to the development of heart …

Introduction: Clinical evidence supports the use of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)
in adults with heart failure, but experience in pediatrics and congenital heart disease (CHD) …

Background: It is unclear whether physiologic pacing by either cardiac biventricular pacing
(BiVP) or His bundle pacing (HisBP) may prevent adverse structural and functional …

Aims Right ventricular apical pacing can have deleterious effects and the His bundle has
been widely reported to be an alternative site. This paper presents our experience with …

Aims The prevalence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PiCMP) has been reported to be
9% 1 year after implantation. As long-term data are sparse, the aim of our study was to …
