Short-Term Effectiveness of Right Ventricular Septal Pacing on Heart Failure

Abstract

The effect of right ventricular septal pacing on cardiac function has been not well clarified. In this study, we evaluated the short-term effectiveness of right ventricular septal pacing. BNP（brain natriuretic peptide）and CTR（cardio-thoracic ratio）, the index of cardiac failure, were improved. The percentage of pacing was not correlated, but paced QRS interval was correlated with BNP and significantly wider in patients with other cardiac diseases.These results suggest that right ventricular septal pacing could improve the prognosis of cardiac failure and it was not correlated with percentage of pacing, and that paced QRS interval is involved in other cardiac diseases.
