Background: We studied the acute effect of pacing at the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), right ventricular apex (RVA) and simultaneous RVA and RVOT-dual-site right ventricular pacing (DuRV) in random order on systolic function using impedance cardiography.
Methods: Seventy-three patients (46 males), aged 52-89 years (mean 71.4 years) subjected to routine dual chamber pacemaker implantation with symptomatic chronic II or atrioventricular block, were included to the study.
Results: DuRV pacing resulted in significantly higher cardiac index (CI) in comparison to RVOT and RVA and CI at RVOT was higher than at RVA pacing (2.46 vs 2.35 vs 2.28; P < 0.001). In patients with ejection fraction >50% significantly higher CI was observed during DuRV pacing when compared to RVOT and RVA pacing and there was no difference of CI between RVOT and RVA pacing (2.53 vs 2.41 vs 2.37; P < 0.001). In patients with ejection fraction <50%, DuRV and RVOT pacing resulted in significantly higher CI in comparison to RVA pacing while no difference in CI was observed between RVOT and DuRV pacing (2.28 vs 2.21 vs 2.09; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Dual-site right ventricular pacing in comparison to RVA pacing improved cardiac systolic function. RVOT appeared to be more advantageous than RVA pacing in patients with impaired, but not in those with preserved left ventricular function. No clear hemodynamic benefit of DuRV in comparison to RVOT pacing in patients with impaired systolic function was observed.

Targeting NLRP3 signaling reduces myocarditis-induced arrhythmogenesis and cardiac remodeling.
J Biomed Sci
April 2024
Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, 250 Wu-Hsing Street, Taipei, 11031, Taiwan.
Background: Myocarditis substantially increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Approximately 30% of all ventricular arrhythmia cases in patients with myocarditis originate from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). However, the role of NLRP3 signaling in RVOT arrhythmogenesis remains unclear.

Arrhythmia Unit, Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves, Avenida de las Fuerzas Armadas, 18014 Granada, Spain.
Aims: The compatibility of cardiac pacing with the presence of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) has been investigated, but S-ICD screening test results have not been compared among different pacing sites. The objective was to compare S-ICD screening results among different cardiac pacing sites and to assess the electrocardiographic predictors of success.
Methods And Results: This prospective single-centre study conducted automated S-ICD screening in 102 carriers of cardiac pacing devices in conduction system (CSP), biventricular (BVP), right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), or right ventricular apex (RVA) pacing sites.
Optimization of Left Ventricle Pace Maker Location Using Echo-Based Fluid-Structure Interaction Models.

School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.
Introduction: Cardiac pacing has been an effective treatment in the management of patients with bradyarrhythmia and tachyarrhythmia. Different pacemaker location has different responses, and pacemaker effectiveness to each individual can also be different. A novel image-based ventricle animal modeling approach was proposed to optimize ventricular pacemaker site for better cardiac outcome.

Background: Many electrocardiography (ECG) criteria have been proposed for the localization of outflow tract premature ventricular contractions (PVCs); however, in some cases, it is difficult to accurately localize the origin of PVCs using the surface ECG. The authors aimed to study the QRS-right ventricular apex (RVA) interval measured during electrophysiological study and its role in the differentiation between different sites of origin of outflow tract PVCs.
Methods: The study included 90 patients (81 females, mean age 37.
Right Ventricular Longitudinal Conduction Delay in Patients with Brugada Syndrome.
J Korean Med Sci
March 2021
Heart Center of Chonnam National University Hospital, Gwangju, Korea.
Background: The mechanism of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is still unclear, with different researchers favoring either the repolarization or depolarization hypothesis. Prolonged longitudinal activation time has been verified in only a small number of human right ventricles (RVs). The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate RV conduction delays in BrS.
