Abstract:BackgroundThe clinical importance of the right ventricle (RV) has recently been recognized; however, assessing its function during cardiac surgery remains challenging owing to its complex anatomy. A temporary transvenous pacing catheter is a useful tool in the small surgical field of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and an electrocardiogram recorded through the catheter is composed of the direct electrophysiological activity of the RV. Therefore, we hypothesized that QRS duration in the RV (QRSRV) could be … Show more
