Effects of Synchronizing Foot Strike and Cardiac Phase on Exercise Hemodynamics in Patients With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: A Within-Subjects Pilot Study to Fine-Tune Cardio-Locomotor Coupling for Heart Failure

Circulation

We speculate that, if added to pacemakers, this cardio-locomotor coupling technology may maximize CRT efficiency and increase exercise participation and quality of life in patients with CHF. Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower during diastolic walking (85±12 versus 98±20 mm Hg;P=0.007).CONCLUSIONS:In
