In this acute immature piglet model of AV block, LV performance improved with single-site pacing from the LVA and BiV pacing (RVA/LVA), as compared with single-site pacing from the RVA. These changes correlated with tissue Doppler indices of mechanical synchrony, though not necessarily with QRS duration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
