Proarrhythmic effect of bipolar epicardial left ventricular stimulation in CRT, resolved maintaing biventricular pacing with unipolar-cathodical configuration: a peculiar case report
Abstract:Background: The effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) on the risk of ventricular arrhythmias is controversial. Several
studies reported a decreased risk, but some studies reported a potential
proarrhythmic effect of epicardial left ventricular pacing resolved upon
discontinuation of biventricular pacing (BiVp). Case Summary: A
67-years old woman with a history of heart failure due to non-ischemic
cardiomyopathy and left bundle brunch block was hospitalized for CRT
device implantation. Unpredictably… Show more
