Assessment of left ventricular electromechanical activation during right ventricular apical and outflow tract pacing
Background: Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, induces asynchronous ventricular contraction and impairs cardiac function. Alternative sites of pacing particularly right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) may have a more favorable hemodynamic profile, physiological left ventricular (LV) activation a...
