Ischemic left ventricle systolic dysfunction: An evidence-based approach in diagnostic tools and therapeutics

Summary Coronary artery disease (CAD) associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction is a condition related to poor prognosis. There is a lack of robust evidence in many aspects related to this condition, from definition to treatment. Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a spectrum ranging from stunned myoc...

Electrical approach to improve left ventricular activation during right ventricle stimulation

Medicina (B.Aires); 77 (1), 2017
Coronary sinus mapping is commonly used to evaluate left atrial activation. Herein, we propose to use it to assess which right ventricular pacing modality produces the shortest left ventricular activation times (R-LVtime) and the narrowest QRS widths. Three study groups were defined: 54 controls without ...
