Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We investigated systolic and diastolic left ventricular function in a patient with an echocardiographically normal left ventricle and rate dependent left bundle branch block. Abnormal activation was associated with asynchronous left ventricular wall motion and secondary changes in filling pattern. The latter were similar to those seen in severe left ventricular disease. When the activation pattern reverted to normal, all of these abnormalities regressed. This case provides further evidence that abnormal activation can, on its own, cause left ventricular diastolic as well as systolic dysfunction. |
