Imbalances in Cardiac Output01:26

Imbalances in Cardiac Output

1.4K
The heart's primary function is to pump blood throughout the body, maintaining a balance between blood sent out (cardiac output) and blood returning (venous return). If this balance is disrupted, it can result in congestive heart failure (CHF), a severe condition where the heart becomes an inefficient pump, leading to inadequate blood circulation.
CHF can occur due to the failure of either side of the heart. Left-side failure leads to pulmonary congestion—the right side continues to send...

Heart Failure Drugs: β-Blockers

β-adrenergic antagonists, commonly known as β-blockers, block the effects of sympathetic neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline (ADR). They have several beneficial effects in heart failure treatment. They reduce heart rate, the force of contraction, and cardiac muscle relaxation. They also slow the atrial-ventricular conduction rate and raise the threshold for arrhythmias. The concentration of β-blockers determines their effects on bronchodilation,...

Electrophysiology of Normal Cardiac Rhythm01:19

Electrophysiology of Normal Cardiac Rhythm

3.7K
The normal cardiac rhythm is a synchronized electrical activity that facilitates the regular and coordinated contraction of the heart muscle. This process is essential for efficient blood circulation throughout the body. The fundamental elements involved in establishing and maintaining this rhythm include the unique electrical properties of cardiac muscle cells, the sinoatrial (SA) node's pacemaker function, the specialized conducting system, and the ionic mechanisms underlying each phase...

Summary

Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) improves right ventricular (RV) function, particularly in patients with baseline septal abnormalities. However, basal LBBAP placement may be linked to worsening tricuspid regurgitation (TR).

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Cardiac Pacing

Background:

  • The long-term effects of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) on right ventricular (RV) function and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are not well understood.
  • Assessing these impacts is crucial for optimizing pacing strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term effects of LBBAP on RV performance and TR.
  • To identify predictors of RV function improvement and TR progression after LBBAP.

Main Methods:

  • RV function assessed via RV free wall strain, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, fractional area change, and lateral tricuspid annulus systolic velocity.
  • RV motion patterns evaluated by presence of reverse septal flash (RSF) and basal bulge (BB).
  • Lead-TV distance measured to assess lead proximity to the tricuspid annulus.

Main Results:

  • In 122 patients (mean age 76.5 years) with a median follow-up of 21 months, RV free wall strain significantly improved post-LBBAP.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction predicted improved RV function.
  • RSF and BB resolved in most patients, with greater RV function improvement in those with baseline RSF.
  • No overall TR deterioration, but shorter lead-TV distance (<24.5 mm) correlated with TR progression.

Conclusions:

  • LBBAP demonstrates a beneficial effect on RV function.
  • Basal LBBAP positioning may be associated with an increased risk of TR worsening.
