All patients had a reduced LVEF of 36%–50% and underwent pacemaker implantation. Clinical outcomes, including death from any cause, fatal ventricular arrhythmias, hospitalization for heart failure, and echocardiographic improvements after 1 year, were assessed. No fatal ventricular arrhythmias occurred.

Since the implantation of the first pacemakers in the 1960s, rapid advancements in biomedical technologies have led to the development of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) in the 1990s. 1,2) Moreover, now evidence on CRT upgrade with hard outcome is also available for patients with HFrEF and wide, paced QRS (3).

Methods From January 2003 to June 2022, consecutive patients with liver metastases of midgut NETs and severe CHD (severe valve disease with symptoms and/or right ventricular enlargement) were included at Beaujon and Bichat hospitals. Epicardial pacemakers were systematically implanted in operated patients and 25% were permanently paced.

Background:Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) may be associated with greater improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction and reduction in death or heart failure hospitalization when compared with biventricular pacing (BVP) in patients requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. Seeing as the patient has a single chamber ICD/pacemaker, pacing the ventricle will also lead to AV dyssynchrony that will compromise ventricular filling, further impairing hemodynamics. small squares in width (260ms).

He presented with chest pain, not relieved by nitro, pain reproducible on exam and centered around the pacemaker insertion site. LV Ejection Fraction at the time of this hospitalization was 10%. During both presentations, the patient was fluid overloaded, and had decompensated heart failure with a very low ejection fraction.
