Single site left ventricular pacing induced dyssynchrony and cardiomyopathy

Joy Shome et al. Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

Single site left ventricular (LV) pacing in the absence of intrinsic ventricular activity can be as detrimental to LV function as right ventricular apical pacing. This report describes a patient with complete heart block who developed significant dyssynchrony and cardiomyopathy secondary to single site lateral LV pacing. The process was reversed by placement of a second anterior LV lead.
