The paper deals with hemodynamic parameters in the greater and lesser circulations in patients with CHD concurrent with left bundle branch block. Based on the results of clinical and instrumental studies involving electrocardiography, phonocardiography and echocardiographic techniques, the authors provide early objective measures for diagnosing the hemodynamic changes occurred with development of left bundle branch block. The authors make a comparative assessment of hemodynamic effects produced by single administration of nitrosorbide, corinfar, obsidan, and spesicor in the patients examined. Nitrosorbide and corinfar improve left ventricular contractility, reduce the degree of pulmonary hypertension and right cardiac overload, while obsidan and spesicor aggravate the hemodynamic changes in patients who have CHD and left bundle branch block.

How to correct QT interval after cardiac resynchronisation therapy.

J Electrocardiol

January 2025

Victorian Heart Institute, Monash University, Clayton, VIC, Australia; Victorian Heart Hospital, Clayton, VIC, Australia. Electronic address:

Introduction: This study evaluates various formulae used to correct the QT interval in patients with wide QRS complexes to calculate corrected QT (QTc) following Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT).

Methods: We included patients with severe heart failure and left bundle branch block, presenting with a QRS duration of at least 120 milliseconds, who underwent successful CRT implantation. Patients were excluded if they had non-lateral left ventricular lead placement, metabolic disorders, atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, or high-degree atrioventricular block prior to implantation.

The trained heart adapts through geometric changes influenced by concentric and eccentric hypertrophy, depending on the predominance of the isometric or dynamic components of the exercise performed. Additionally, alterations in heart rhythm may occur due to increased vagal system activity. Cardiological evaluation with an electrocardiogram (ECG) aims to identify cardiac conditions that could temporarily or permanently disqualify an athlete from competition.

Permanent Left Bundle Branch Area DF-4 Defibrillator Lead Implantation-Feasibility, Procedural Caveats, Safety, and Follow-Up.

J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol

January 2025

Department of Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing, Arrhythmia Heart Failure Academy, The Madras Medical Mission, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Introduction: Permanent implantation of a DF-4 implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) lead in the left bundle branch area (LBBA-ICD) is the next paradigm in amalgamating cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and defibrillation. We systematically investigated feasibility/success rate, procedural caveats, and complications associated with a permanent DF-4 LBBA ICD implant and pertinent data at short-term follow-up.

Methods: We prospectively attempted implantation of 7 Fr Durata (Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA) single coil DF-4 ICD lead at the LBBA using a fixed-curve non-deflectable CPS locator delivery sheath.
