For patients with preserved EF received RVA pacing, half of them would develop systolic dyssynchrony which was associated with EF deterioration and LV enlargement. A low normal EF, a high cumulative percentage of RVA pacing, and pre-existing LV hypertrophy were predictors of developing dyssynchrony.
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.
