INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: After cardiac surgery, temporary pacing leads are routinely implanted in the right ventricle (RV). The objective was to investigate the effect of different ventricular pacing locations on cardiac synchrony (by evaluating myocardial deformation, or strain) and efficiency in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS: Interventricular asynchrony (i.e. the difference in the time of onset of deformation between right and left ventricles; Tε-R/L) and intraventricular asynchrony (i.e. the standard deviation and maximum difference in the time of onset of deformation in six segments of the left ventricle [LV]; Tε-SD and Tε-MD, respectively) were assessed in 19 patients. Doppler echocardiography was used to evaluate these parameters and cardiac output after pacing in the RV and in three different LV segments. RESULTS: Pacing in the RV resulted in the greatest increases in asynchrony parameters from baseline: Tε-R/L 59.8 ms (standard deviation [SD] 40.5 ms) vs. 28.23 ms (SD 56.9 ms), P=.002; Tε-SD 53.2 ms (SD 34.4 ms) vs. 36.6 ms (SD 34.9 ms), P=.007; and Tε-MD 135.3 ms (SD 82.9 ms) vs. 90.5 ms (SD 87.4 ms), P=.007. Pacing in the LV resulted in less asynchrony: for anterior LV pacing, Tε-R/L was 17.2 ms (SD 53.8 ms), Tε-SD was 35.8 ms (SD 17.9 ms), and Tε-MD was 91.3 ms (SD 45.2). The change from baseline was not significant. Cardiac output was lower after RV pacing than after anterior LV pacing: 4.36 (SD 1) vs. 4.70 (SD 1); P=.001. CONCLUSIONS: Pacing in the LV produced less asynchrony than RV pacing. In addition, anterior LV pacing resulted in a higher cardiac output than RV pacing. These findings suggest that the location normally used for temporary leads after cardiac surgery should be changed. |
