The energetic costs of post-extrasystolic potentiation (PEP) were assessed by evaluating left ventricular function and coronary blood flow in 16 patients with different forms of cardiac disease during cardiac catheterisation under basal conditions and sustained coupled right ventricular pacing. The coronary blood flow was measured by thermodilution techniques with sampling in the aorta and coronary sinus to measure O2 concentration, glucose, and plasma lactate and catecholamine levels. Parameters of LV function were calculated from data obtained from biplane left cineventriculography.
