BackgroundCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to improve both the functional status and mortality of heart failure patients with left bundle branch block. Multiple recent studies suggest several mechanisms for proarrhythmia associated with CRT device.Case summaryA 51-year-old male with symptomatic non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and no previous history of ventricular arrhythmias underwent placement of a biventricular cardioverter-defibrillator. The patient developed sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) soon after implantation. The VT recurred despite reprogramming to right ventricular only pacing. The electrical storm resolved only after a subsequent discharge from the defibrillator caused inadvertent dislodgement of the coronary sinus lead. No recurrent VT occurred throughout 10-years follow up after urgent coronary sinus lead revision.DiscussionWe describe the first reported case of mechanically induced electrical storm due to the physical presence of the CS lead in a patient with a new CRT-D device. It is important to recognize mechanical proarrhythmia as a potential mechanism of electrical storm, as it may be intractable to device reprogramming. Urgent coronary sinus lead revision should be considered. Further studies on this mechanism of proarrhythmia are needed. 相似文献

Background
With increasing use of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), treating physicians should be familiar with different electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns of left ventricular (LV) lead and biventricular (BiV) pacing. However, there are a few publications on ECG patterns during BiV pacing.Purpose
This study was sought to determine different ECG patterns in patients with BiV pacing.Methods
Twelve-lead ECGs during BiV pacing (right ventricular leads at apex and LV leads in one of the lateral coronary veins) were analyzed in 181 consecutive patients (121 male; mean age, 62.0 ± 13.5 years) with advanced heart failure and baseline left bundle branch block pattern after at least 6-month of uncomplicated CRT.Results
During BiV pacing, 65% of the patients showed a dominant R wave in V1. There was a right axis deviation in 57% in frontal plane. However, a left superior axis emerged in 34% and normal frontal plane axis in 9%. Sequential BiV pacing (73% vs. 58%, P = 0.04) and pacing from posterolateral coronary vein (80% vs. 60%, p = 0.045) were more likely to present with a dominant R wave in V1. In sequential pacing, AV interval was significantly longer in patients with negative complex in V1 than in those with positive complex (124 ± 21 vs. 116 ± 8.0, p = 0.005). A Q/q wave was detected in 85% of patients in lead I and 78% in lead aVL.Conclusions
BiV pacing from lateral coronary venous branches and right ventricular apex characteristically presented with dominant R wave in V1, Q/q wave in leads I and aVL, and right or left superior axis. However, a negative complex in V1, QRS axis in other quadrants, and lack of Q/q wave in leads I and aVL did not necessarily indicate a problem. 相似文献3.

Introduction
With the recent publication of the negative DANISH trial, the mortality benefit of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been put in question in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Because a majority of patients in DANISH receive cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, we investigated in the present study the survival of recipients of CRT pacemakers (CRT-P) versus CRT ICDs (CRT-D) in a cohort of older (≥75 years) NICM patients at our institution.Methods
A total of 135 NICM patients with CRT device were identified (42 with CRT-P and 93 with CRT-D) and were followed to the endpoint of all-cause mortality. Overall survival was compared between the CRT-P and CRT-D groups with adjustment for differences in baseline characteristics.Results
Over a median follow-up of 46 months from the time of CRT device implantation, there were 54 total deaths (40%): 14 in the CRT-P (33%) and 40 in the CRT-D (43%) groups. Overall, CRT-P recipients had similar unadjusted mortality compared to CRT-D recipients (hazard ratio [HR] 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56–1.93), and this remained unchanged after adjusting for unbalanced covariates (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.47–1.89) including left ventricular ejection fraction, used of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, and the Charlson comorbidity index.Conclusion
Our data support that in older NICM patients with CRT devices, the addition of ICD therapy does not improve survival. 相似文献4.

Aims
Although cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is an established treatment to improve cardiac function, a significant amount of patients do not experience noticeable improvement in their cardiac function. Optimal timing of the delay between atrial and ventricular pacing pulses (AV delay) is of major importance for effective CRT treatment and this optimum may differ between resting and exercise conditions. In this study the feasibility of haemodynamic measurements by the non-invasive finger plethysmographic method (Nexfin) was used to optimise the AV delay during exercise.Methods and results
Thirty-one patients implanted with a CRT device in the last 4 years participated in the study. During rest and in exercise, stroke volume (SV) was measured using the Nexfin device for several AV delays. The optimal AV delay at rest and in exercise was determined using the least squares estimates (LSE) method. Optimisation created a clinically significant improvement in SV of 10 %. The relation between HR and the optimal AV delay was patient dependent.Conclusion
A potential increase in SV of 10 % can be achieved using Nexfin for optimisation of AV delay during exercise. A considerable number of patients showed benefit with lengthening of the AV delay during exercise. 相似文献5.
Chronic cardiac resynchronization therapy and reverse ventricular remodeling in a model of nonischemic cardiomyopathy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

While cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients, the fundamental mechanisms for the efficacy of CRT are poorly understood. The lack of understanding of these basic mechanisms represents a significant barrier to our understanding of the pathogenesis of HF and potential recovery mechanisms. Our purpose was to determine cellular mechanisms for the observed improvement in chronic HF after CRT. We used a canine model of chronic nonischemic cardiomyopathy. After 15 months, dogs were randomized to continued RV tachypacing (untreated HF) or CRT for an additional 9 months. Six minute walk tests, echocardiograms, and electrocardiograms were done to assess the functional response to therapy. Left ventricular (LV) midmyocardial myocytes were isolated to study electrophysiology and intracellular calcium regulation. Compared to untreated HF, CRT improved HF-induced increases in LV volumes, diameters and mass (p<0.05). CRT reversed HF-induced prolongations in LV myocyte repolarization (p<0.05) and normalized HF-induced depolarization (p<0.03) of the resting membrane potential. CRT improved HF-induced reductions in calcium (p<0.05). CRT did not attenuate the HF-induced increases in LV interstitial fibrosis. Using a translational approach in a chronic HF model, CRT significantly improved LV structure; this was accompanied by improved LV myocyte electrophysiology and calcium regulation. The beneficial effects of CRT may be attributable, in part, to improved LV myocyte function. 相似文献

PurposeBiventricular pacing is a mainstay of therapy for patients with heart failure. However, lead implantations may fail due to anatomical reasons including the impossibility of coronary sinus cannulation.Methods and resultsA dual approach from the subclavian vein using a snare through a sheath and from the femoral vein using a steerable electrophysiology catheter was performed. Once the snare hooked the catheter, the latter was advanced into the coronary sinus and finally, the sheath could also be advanced in an “over-the-wire” technique.ConclusionThe snare technique for coronary sinus cannulation offers a “bail-out” strategy for left ventricular lead implantation. 相似文献

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening arrhythmia that may be idiopathic or result from structural heart disease. Cardiac imaging is critical in the diagnostic workup and risk stratification of patients with VT. Data gained from cardiac imaging provides information on likely mechanisms and sites of origin, as well as risk of intervention. Pre-procedural imaging can be used to plan access route(s) and identify patients where post-procedural intensive care may be required. Integration of cardiac imaging into electroanatomical mapping systems during catheter ablation procedures can facilitate the optimal approach, reduce radiation dose, and may improve clinical outcomes. Intraprocedural imaging helps guide catheter position, target substrate, and identify complications early. This review summarises the contemporary imaging modalities used in patients with VT, and their uses both pre-procedurally and intra-procedurally. 相似文献

We present a rare case of tachycardiomyopathy in a 4-year-old girl. The child had incessant atrial tachycardia (AT) and refractory heart failure. Right atrial appendage (RAA) was localised as the source of the ectopic tachycardia. The child underwent successful radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using 3-D electroanatomical mapping. Fluoroscopy was used sparingly only to rule out underlying anomalies. The left ventricular functions returned to normal by one month after the procedure. RAA AT is rare in very young children and usually necessitates surgical appendectomies. RFA is a challenge in such age groups and there are very few published literature on RAA AT in very young children. 相似文献

A 04-year-old boy was referred to our institution with severe, progressive heart failure of 4-months duration associated with a persistent wide QRS tachycardia with left bundle branch block and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Because of incessant wide QRS tachycardia refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs, he was referred for electrophysiological study. The ECG was suggestive of VT arising from the right ventricle near the His area. Electrophysiological study revealed that origin of tachycardia was septum of the right ventricle, near His bundle, however the procedure was not successful and an inadvertent complete atrioventricular conduction block occurred. The same ventricular tachycardia recurred. A second procedure was performed with a retrograd aortic approach to map the left side of the interventricular septum. The earliest endocardial site for ablation was localized in the anterobasal region of left ventricle near His bundle. In this location, one radiofrequency pulse interrupted VT and rendered it not inducible. The echocardiographic evaluation showed partial reversal of left ventricular function in the first 3 months. The diagnosis was idiopathic parahisian left ventricular tachycardia leading to a tachycardia mediated cardiomyopathy, an extremely rare clinical picture in children. 相似文献

Background
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is indicated in symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients after achieving optimal medical therapy. However, there are still a large percentage of patients who do not respond to CRT. Malnutrition is a frequent comorbidity in patients with HF, and it is associated with a poorer prognosis. Here, we evaluate the nutritional status of patients assessed by Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and its association with structural remodeling and cardiovascular events.Methods
We investigated the effect of CONUT on HF/death in 302 consecutive patients with a CRT device implanted between 2005 and 2015 in a single tertiary center. We categorized the patients into three groups: normal nutritional status (CONUT 0–1), mild malnutrition (CONUT 2–4) and moderate-severe malnutrition (CONUT?≥?5). Changes in nutritional status were assessed in patients with mild-to-severe malnutrition prior to CRT.Results
One hundred and forty-eight patients exhibited normal nutritional status (49.0%), 99 patients exhibited mild malnutrition (32.8%) and 55 patients exhibited moderate-severe malnutrition (18.2%). CONUT scores of at least 2 were associated with higher risk of HF/death compared with CONUT 0–1. Significant left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling was noted in patients with better nutritional status. In addition, those malnutrition patients at baseline that improved nutritional state exhibited fewer HF/death events at follow-up.Conclusion
CONUT score prior to CRT was an independent risk factor of death/HF and was correlated with LV reverse remodeling. Improvements in CONUT score during long-term follow-up were associated with a reduction in the rate of HF/death. 相似文献14.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT-P and CRT-D) implantation has increased tremendously with increasing operator experience, eligible patients and expansion of indications. Refinements in devices and algorithms now aid physicians to improve biventricular pacing and optimize CRT. We report a case in which an interesting device program was used to achieve biventricular pacing after repeated dislodgement of the atrial lead in a patient implanted with CRT-D. 相似文献

In cardiac resynchronisation therapy, failure to implant a left ventricular lead in a coronary sinus branch has been reported in up to 10% of cases. Although surgical insertion of epicardial leads is considered the standard alternative, this is not without morbidity and technical limitations. Endocardial left ventricular pacing can be an alternative as it has been associated with a favourable acute haemodynamic response compared with epicardial pacing in both animal and human studies. In this paper, we discuss left ventricular endocardial pacing and compare it with epicardial surgical implantation. Ease of application and procedural complications and morbidity compare favourably with epicardial surgical techniques. However, with limited experience, the most important concern is the still unknown long-term risk of thromboembolic complications. Therefore, for now endovascular implants should remain reserved for severely symptomatic heart failure patients and patients at high surgical risk of failed coronary sinus implantation. 相似文献

This case highlights the importance of proper identification of congenital anomalies of the coronary sinus for the successful placement of left ventricular lead during cardiac resynchronization therapy device implantation. We discuss an alternate route for left ventricular lead placement via the vein of Marshall when the coronary sinus ostium in the right atrium was atretic and was facing difficulty initially in detecting the anomaly. 相似文献

A septuagenarian female with cardiac sarcoidosis suffered from drug refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) requiring multiple implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks. The QRS complex during the VT was very similar to that during sinus rhythm although the QRS width during the VT (142 ms) was relatively wider than that during sinus rhythm (107 ms). The VT exit was located on the ventricular septum close to the His-bundle recording region. However, the critical pathway of this VT was detected on the anterior free wall of the left ventricle (LV), and a radiofrequency application at that site could terminate the VT. No Purkinje potentials were recorded there during the VT or sinus rhythm. According to the electrophysiological study, 3-D mapping, and the response to the ablation, the critical circuit of the VT was surrounded by a protected area of scar associated with cardiac sarcoidosis. As a result, the VT circuit was connected to the basal septal area close to the His-Purkinje system as an outer loop of the VT circuit. This unique trajectory of the VT might have caused a similar QRS morphology to that of sinus rhythm, and the relatively narrow QRS complex despite the critical isthmus was located on the anterior free wall of the LV. 相似文献

Approximately one third of patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy do not derive any detectable benefit. In these patients, acute invasive hemodynamic evaluation can be used for therapy optimization. This report describes the use of systematic invasive hemodynamic measurements for clinical decision making in a patient who experienced severe ventricular arrhythmias and clinical deterioration following a biventricular upgrade. 相似文献
