INTRODUCTION@#Despite the challenges related to His bundle pacing (HBP), recent data suggest an improved success rate with experience. As a non-university, non-electrophysiology specialised centre in Singapore, we report our experiences in HBP using pacing system analyser alone.@*METHODS@#Data of 28 consecutive patients who underwent HBP from August 2018 to February 2019 was retrospectively obtained. The clinical and technical outcomes of these patients were compared between two timeframes of three months each. Patients were followed up for 12 months.@*RESULTS@#Immediate technical success was achieved in 21 (75.0%) patients (mean age 73.3 ± 10.7 years, 47.6% female). The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 53.9% ± 12.1%. The indications for HBP were atrioventricular block (n = 13, 61.9%), sinus node dysfunction (n = 7, 33.3%) and upgrade from implantable cardioverter-defibrillator to His-cardiac resynchronisation therapy (n = 1, 4.8%). No significant difference was observed in baseline characteristics between Timeframe 1 and Timeframe 2. Improvements pertaining to mean fluoroscopy time were achieved between the two timeframes. There was one HBP-related complication of lead displacement during Timeframe 1. All patients with successful HBP achieved non-selective His bundle (NSHB) capture, whereas only eight patients had selective His bundle (SHB) capture. NSHB and SHB capture thresholds remained stable at the 12-month follow-up.@*CONCLUSION@#Permanent HBP is feasible and safe, even without the use of an electrophysiology recording system. This was successfully achieved in 75% of patients, with no adverse clinical outcomes during the follow-up period.

Resumen La estimulación apical permanente del ventrículo derecho (VD) puede producir asincronía del ventrículo izquierdo (VI) desde los puntos de vista eléctrico y mecánico. Este fenómeno es efecto de una alteración de la activación normal del VI que lleva al deterioro de la función sistólica y la aparición de insuficiencia cardíaca y sus efectos deletéreos relacionados. Para el estudio de la asincronía eléctrica del VI se ha propuesto en fecha reciente el nuevo sistema electrocardiográfico no invasivo Synchromax, que puede cuantificar el grado de asincronía eléctrica que causa una subsecuente asincronía mecánica. Esta última se ha estudiado casi siempre mediante la ecocardiografía transtorácica bidimensional (ETT2D) a través del Doppler tisular y la deformación miocárdica y ahora con la ecocardiografía tridimensional transtorácica en tiempo real (E3DTR). La relación entre estos fenómenos ha sido motivo de estudio a fin de identificar a los pacientes que se benefician de la transición a un tratamiento de resincronización cardíaca. Conclusiones: La estimulación artificial permanente del VD produce asincronía eléctrica del VI que puede cuantificarse mediante el nuevo sistema electrocardiográfico Synchromax y desencadenar asincronía mecánica estudiada mediante la ecocardiografía transtorácica para reconocer a los pacientes que pueden beneficiarse de un tratamiento de resincronización cardíaca.


Abstract Permanent apical pacing of right ventricle (RV) can produce dyssynchrony of the left ventricle (LV) from an electrical and mechanical point of view. This phenomenon is caused by an alteration in the normal activation of LV leading to a deterioration of systolic function and the appearance of heart failure and its associated deleterious effects. For the study of the electrical asynchrony of the LV, a new noninvasive electrocardiographic system Synchromax has recently been proposed, being able to quantify the degree of electrical asynchrony that leads to a subsequent mechanical dyssynchrony. The latter has been traditionally studied by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) through tissue Doppler and myocardial deformation and lately by real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE). The relationship between these phenomena has been the subject of study to predict those patients who benefit from an “upgrade” to cardiac resynchronization therapy. Conclusions: Permanent apical pacing of the RV produces electrical dyssynchrony of the LV that can be quantified using a new electrocardiographic system Synchromax and trigger mechanical asynchrony studied through transthoracic echocardiography allowing to predict those patients who benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Abstract Complete heart block (CHB) results from dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system, which results in complete electrical dissociation. The ventricular escape rhythm can have its origin anywhere from the atrioventricular node to the bundle branch-Purkinje system. CHB typically results in bradycardia, hypotension, fatigue, hemodynamic instability, syncope, or even Stokes-Adams syndrome. Escape rhythm originating above the bifurcation of the His bundle (HB) produces narrow QRSs with relatively rapid heart rate (HR) (except in cases of His system disease). We present a middle-aged man with an HR of 34 bpm, progressive fatigue, in whom a temporary pacemaker was implanted in the subtricuspid region. The post-intervention electrocardiogram had unusual features.


Resumen El bloqueo cardíaco completo (BCC) resulta de la disfunción del sistema de conducción cardíaco, lo que ocasiona una disociación eléctrica completa entre aurículas y ventrículos. El ritmo de escape resultante puede tener su origen en cualquier lugar desde el nodo auriculoventricular hasta el sistema His Purkinje. El BCC generalmente produce bradicardia, hipotensión, fatiga, inestabilidad hemodinámica, síncope o incluso el síndrome de Stokes-Adams. El ritmo de escape que se origina por encima de la bifurcación del haz de His produce intervalos QRS estrechos con frecuencia cardíaca no muy lenta (excepto en casos de enfermedad del sistema Hisiano). Presentamos a un hombre de mediana edad con una frecuencia cardíaca de 34 lpm, fatiga progresiva, en el que se implantó un marcapasos temporario en la región subtricuspídea. El electrocardiograma resultante a la intervención presentó características inusuales.

Abstract Background: Considering the potential deleterious effects of right ventricular (RV) pacing, the hypothesis of this study is that isolated left ventricular (LV) pacing through the coronary sinus is safe and may provide better clinical and echocardiographic benefits to patients with bradyarrhythmias and normal ventricular function requiring heart rate correction alone. Objective: To assess the safety, efficacy, and effects of LV pacing using an active-fixation coronary sinus lead in comparison with RV pacing, in patients eligible for conventional pacemaker (PM) implantation. Methods: Randomized, controlled, and single-blinded clinical trial in adult patients submitted to PM implantation due to bradyarrhythmias and systolic ventricular function ≥ 0.40. Randomization (RV vs. LV) occurred before PM implantation. The main results of the study were procedural success, safety, and efficacy. Secondary results were clinical and echocardiographic changes. Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test and Student's t-test were used, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: From June 2012 to January 2014, 91 patients were included, 36 in the RV Group and 55 in the LV Group. Baseline characteristics of patients in both groups were similar. PM implantation was performed successfully and without any complications in all patients in the RV group. Of the 55 patients initially allocated into the LV group, active-fixation coronary sinus lead implantation was not possible in 20 (36.4%) patients. The most frequent complication was phrenic nerve stimulation, detected in 9 (25.7%) patients in the LV group. During the follow-up period, there were no hospitalizations due to heart failure. Reductions of more than 10% in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed in 23.5% of patients in the RV group and 20.6% of those in the LV group (p = 0.767). Tissue Doppler analysis showed that 91.2% of subjects in the RV group and 68.8% of those in the LV group had interventricular dyssynchrony (p = 0.022). Conclusion: The procedural success rate of LV implant was low, and the safety of the procedure was influenced mainly by the high rate of phrenic nerve stimulation in the postoperative period.


Resumo Fundamento: Considerando-se os potenciais efeitos deletérios da estimulação do ventrículo direito (VD), a hipótese desse estudo é que a estimulação unifocal ventricular esquerda pelo seio coronário é segura e pode proporcionar melhores benefícios clínicos e ecocardiográficos aos pacientes com bradiarritmias que apresentam função ventricular normal, necessitando apenas da correção da frequência cardíaca. Objetivos: Avaliar a segurança, a eficácia e os efeitos da estimulação do ventrículo esquerdo (VE), utilizando um cabo-eletrodo com fixação ativa, em comparação à estimulação do VD. Métodos: Estudo clínico, randomizado, simples-cego em pacientes adultos com indicação de marca-passo (MP) devido a bradiarritmias e função ventricular sistólica ≥ 0,40. A randomização aleatória (VD vs VE) ocorreu antes do procedimento. Os desfechos primários do estudo foram: o sucesso, a segurança e a eficácia do procedimento proposto. Os desfechos secundários foram: a evolução clínica e alterações ecocardiográficas. Empregou-se os testes Qui-quadrado, Exato de Fisher e t de Student, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: De junho de 2012 a janeiro de 2014 foram incluídos 91 pacientes, sendo 36 no grupo VD e 55 no grupo VE. As características basais dos pacientes dos dois grupos foram similares. O implante de MP foi realizado com sucesso e sem nenhuma intercorrência em todos os pacientes do grupo VD. Dos 55 pacientes inicialmente alocados para o grupo VE, o implante do cabo-eletrodo em veias coronárias não foi possível em 20 (36,4%) pacientes. Dentre os 35 pacientes que permaneceram com o cabo-eletrodo no VE, a estimulação frênica foi a complicação mais frequente e foi detectada em 9 (25,7%) pacientes. Na fase de seguimento clínico, não houve hospitalizações por insuficiência cardíaca. Reduções superiores a 10% na fração de ejeção do VE foram observadas em 23,5% dos pacientes do grupo VD e em 20,6% dos pacientes do grupo VE (p = 0,767). A análise feita pelo Doppler tecidual mostrou que 91,2% dos indivíduos do grupo VD e 68,8% dos do grupo VE apresentaram dissincronia interventricular (p = 0,022). Conclusões: A taxa de sucesso do implante no VE foi baixa e a segurança do procedimento foi influenciada, principalmente, pela alta taxa de estimulação frênica no pós-operatório.

Resumen Introducción: Independientemente de la modalidad de estimulación (VVI o DDD), el mayor porcentaje de estimulación ventricular derecha deteriora la función contráctil izquierda. Por ello se han estudiado diferentes sitios de estimulación. Objetivo: Describir las diferencias electrocardiográficas y ecocardiográficas entre la estimulación en la región apical y la región septal del ventrículo derecho (VD)0. Métodos: Se estudió a 24 pacientes, 2 mujeres y 22 hombres, con fracción de eyección deprimida (≤ 35%) secundaria a estimulación en punta de VD. Se realizó electrocardiograma durante estimulación en ápex de VD y en seguimiento de estimulación septal. También ecocardiografía en ambos momentos. Resultados: La fracción de eyección se incrementó desde 31 ± 3.1% hasta 45 ± 12% (p = 0.0041) con estimulación septal; esta mostró mejor grado de sincronía mecánica. Conclusiones: La estimulación septal puede constituir un sitio de elección en pacientes con disfunción sistólica de ventrículo izquierdo secundaria a estimulación en ápex de VD, los cuales presenten QRS estrecho en su conducción intrínseca, pues en la muestra estudiada produce una mejoría en la sincronía electromecánica, demostrándose incrementos significativos en la fracción de eyección.


Abstract Introduction: Regardless of the type of electrical stimulation (VVI or DDD) the highest percentage of right ventricular apical pacing can cause left ventricular failure. For this reason, studies have been performed in different sites on right ventricle pacing. Objective: To describe differences between electrocardiography and echocardiography variables during right ventricular apical pacing and septal pacing. Methods: A total of 24 patients were studied, 2 women and 22 men, with heart failure due to conventional pacing on right ventricular (ejection fraction ≤ 35%). An electrocardiogram as well as an echocardiogram, was performed during right ventricular apical pacing and when patients were paced on septal area. Results: The ejection fraction increased from 31 ± 3.1% to 45 ± 12% (P=.0041) on septal pacing, showing higher degree of mechanic synchronisation. Conclusions: Pacing on septal area could be a good site for those patients that suffer heart failure due to right ventricular apical pacing. These must show narrow QRS on their intrinsic electrocardiographic conduction. This kind of pacing can produce an improvement in electro- mechanical synchronisation, as well as show an increased left ventricular ejection fraction.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic stimulation of the right ventricle with pacemaker is associated with ventricular dyssynchrony and loss of contractility, even in subjects without previous dysfunction. In these patients, there is a debate of which pacing site is less associated with loss of ventricular function. Objective: To compare pacemaker-induced dyssynchrony among different pacing sites in right ventricular stimulation. Methods: Cross-sectional study of outpatients with right ventricle stimulation higher than 80% and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Pacing lead position (apical, medial septum or free wall) was assessed through chest X-rays. Every patient underwent echocardiogram to evaluate for dyssynchrony according to CARE-HF criteria: aortic pre-ejection time, interventricular delay and septum/posterior wall delay on M mode. Results: Forty patients were included. Fifty-two percent had apical electrode position, 42% mid septum and 6% free wall. Mean QRS time 148.97±15.52 milliseconds. A weak correlation between the mean QRS width and pre-aortic ejection time (r=0.32; P=0.04) was found. No difference in QRS width among the positions could be noted. Intraventricular delay was lower in apical patients against mid septal (34.4±17.2 vs. 54.3±19.1 P<0.05) - no difference with those electrode on the free wall. No difference was noted in the pre-aortic ejection time (P=0.9). Conclusion: Apical pacing showed a lower interventricular conduction delay when compared to medial septum site. Our findings suggest that apical pacing dyssynchrony is not ubiquitous, as previously thought, and that it should remain an option for lead placement.

Implantable cardiac pacing systems are a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic irreversible bradycardia. Under the proper indications, cardiac pacing might bring significant clinical benefit. Evidences from literature state that the action of the artificial pacing system, mainly when the ventricular lead is located at the apex of the right ventricle, produces negative effects to cardiac structure (remodeling, dilatation) and function (dissinchrony). Patients with previously compromised left ventricular function would benefit the least with conventional right ventricle apical pacing, and are exposed to the risk of developing higher incidence of morbidity and mortality for heart failure. However, after almost 6 decades of cardiac pacing, just a reduced portion of patients in general would develop these alterations. In this context, there are not completely clear some issues related to cardiac pacing and the development of this cardiomyopathy. Causality relationships among QRS widening with a left bundle branch block morphology, contractility alterations within the left ventricle, and certain substrates or clinical (previous systolic dysfunction, structural heart disease, time from implant) or electrical conditions (QRS duration, percentage of ventricular stimulation) are still subjecte of debate. This review analyses contemporary data regarding this new entity, and discusses alternatives of how to use cardiac pacing in this context, emphasizing cardiac resynchronization therapy.


A estimulação cardíaca artificial (ECA) é o tratamento mais seguro e eficaz para a bradicardia sintomática irreversível. Nas indicações propícias, pode trazer grande benefício clínico. Contudo, as evidências mostram que a ação da ECA geraria, em alguns casos, efeitos deletérios à estrutura e fisiologia cardíacas. Este potencial efeito negativo da ECA convencional poderia ser mais acentuado principalmente em pacientes com comprometimento prévio da função ventricular esquerda e, sobretudo, quando o eletrodo é colocado em posição apical do ventrículo direito (VD). Intrigante é, contudo, que após quase 6 décadas de ECA do VD, apenas uma reduzida parcela de pacientes apresenta esta condição clinicamente manifesta. Os determinantes do surgimento ou não da cardiopatia por ECA não estão totalmente esclarecidos. Ainda é motivo de debate a existência de uma relação de causalidade entre o padrão de BRE artificial secundário à ativação antifisiológica ventricular, alterações da dinâmica contrátil ventricular, e condições clínicas (disfunção sistólica prévia, cardiopatia estrutural preexistente, tempo desde o implante) ou elétricas (duração do intervalo QRS, dose percentual de estimulação ventricular). Esta revisão aborda dados contemporâneos sobre esta nova entidade e discute alternativas de como utilizar a ECA neste contexto, com ênfase na terapia de ressincronização cardíaca.

FUNDAMENTO: A estimulação de ventrículo direito pode ser deletéria em pacientes com disfunção ventricular, porém, em pacientes com função normal, o impacto desta estimulação desencadeando disfunção ventricular clinicamente relevante não é completamente estabelecido. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a evolução clínica, ecocardiográfica e laboratorial de pacientes, com função ventricular esquerdapreviamente normal, submetidos a implante de marca-passo. MÉTODO: Estudo observacional transversal em que foram acompanhados de forma prospectiva 20 pacientes submetidos a implante de marca-passo com os seguintes critérios de inclusão: função ventricular esquerda normal definida pelo ecocardiograma e estimulação ventricular superior a 90%. Foram avaliados: classe funcional (CF) (New York Heart Association), teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6), dosagem do hormônio natriurético tipo B (BNP), avaliação ecocardiográfica (convencional e parâmetros de dessincronismo) e questionário de qualidade de vida (QV) (SF-36). A avaliação foi feita com dez dias (t1), quatro meses (t2), oito meses (t3), 12 meses (t4) e 24 meses (t5). RESULTADOS: Os parâmetros ecocardiográficos convencionais e de dessincronismo não apresentaram variação estatística significante ao longo do tempo. O TC6, a CF e a dosagem de BNP apresentaram piora ao final dos dois anos. A QV teve melhora inicial e piora ao final dos dois anos. CONCLUSÃO: O implante de marca-passo convencional foi associado à piora da classe funcional, piora do teste de caminhada, aumento da dosagem de BNP, aumento da duração do QRS e piora em alguns domínios da QV ao final de dois anos. Não houve alterações nas medidas ecocardiográficas (convencionais e medidas de assincronia).


BACKGROUND: Right ventricular pacing may be deleterious in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, but in patients with normal function the impact of this stimulation triggering clinically relevant ventricular dysfunction is not fully established. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical, echocardiographic findings of patients with previously normal left ventricular function underwent implantation of a pacemaker. METHODS: Observational, cross-sectional study with 20 patients, who underwent implantation of pacemaker, prospectively followed-up, with the following inclusion criteria: normal left ventricular function defined by echocardiography and ventricular pacing higher than 90%. Were evaluated functional class (FC) (New York Heart Association), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), echocardiographic assessment (conventional and dyssynchrony parameters), and quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) (SF-36). The assessment was performed at ten days (t1), four months (t2), eight months (t3), 12 months (t4) and 24 months (t5). RESULTS: Conventional echocardiographic parameters and dyssynchrony parameters showed statistically significant variation over time. The 6MWT, FC, and BNP showed worsening at the end of two years. QLQ showed initial improvement and worsening at the end of two years. CONCLUSION: The implantation of conventional pacemaker was associated with worsening in functional class, worsening in walk test, increased BNP levels, increased duration of QRS, and worsening in some domains of the QLQ at the end of two years. There were no changes in echocardiography measurements (conventional and asynchrony measures).

FUNDAMENTO: A estimulação apical crônica do ventrículo direito pode ocasionar dessincronia ventricular e, secundariamente, alterações neuro-humorais e aumento da morbimortalidade cardíaca. OBJETIVO: Pesquisar dessincronia ventricular e seus efeitos sobre os níveis de BNP em pacientes com marca-passo estimulados cronicamente no ápice do ventrículo direito (VD). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 85 pacientes com marca-passo uni ou bicameral, em classe funcional I e II da NYHA e fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) > 35 por cento. A avaliação de dessincronia foi realizada utilizando-se várias técnicas ecocardiográficas, incluindo o Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI), com análise dos 12 segmentos. O BNP foi dosado junto com o ecocardiograma, porém com o examinador cego. RESULTADOS: Quarenta e seis mulheres e 39 homens, com idade de 58 ± 12 anos, chagásicos (56 por cento) e hipertensos controlados (62 por cento), foram incluídos. A fração de ejeção do VE foi 52 ± 8 por cento e a duração média do QRS de 139 ms (120-180 ms). O BNP mostrou-se alterado em 36,5 por cento da amostra (ponto de corte de 60 pg/ml). Na análise multivariada de regressão linear, o BNP correlacionou-se com a idade (p = 0,024), FEVE (p < 0,0001) e tempo pré-ejetivo do VE (p = 0,009), que é índice de dessincronia intraventricular. CONCLUSÃO: Em pacientes com estimulação cardíaca convencional, estáveis clinicamente, a dessincronia intraventricular foi um preditor independente do aumento dos níveis de BNP, após ajuste pela idade e FEVE.


BACKGROUND: Long-term right ventricular apical pacing can cause ventricular dyssynchrony and, secondarily, neurohumoral alterations and increase in cardiac morbimortality. OBJECTIVE: To analyze ventricular dyssynchrony and its effects on BNP levels in patients with pacemakers and long-term right ventricular (RV) apex pacing. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 85 patients with single or dual chamber pacemaker, NYHA functional class I or II and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 35 percent. The dyssynchrony assessment was carried out using several echocardiographic techniques, including Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI), with the analysis of the 12 segments. BNP was measured at the same time when the echocardiogram was performed, but the examiner was blinded to the results. RESULTS: Forty-six women and 39 men, aged 58 ± 12 years, with Chagas' disease (56 percent) and controlled hypertensive individuals (62 percent), were included in the study. LVEF was 52 ± 8 percent and the mean QRS duration was 139 ms (120-180 ms). BNP levels were altered in 36.5 percent of the sample (cutoff = 60 pg/ml). At the multivariate linear regression analysis, BNP was correlated with age (p = 0.024), LVEF (p < 0.0001) and left ventricular (LV) pre-ejection time (p = 0.009), which is an intraventricular dyssynchrony index. CONCLUSION: In clinically stable patients receiving conventional cardiac pacing, the intraventricular dyssynchrony was an independent predictor of BNP level increase after adjusted for age and LVEF.

OBJETIVO: Investigar disincronía ventricular y sus efectos sobre los niveles de BNP en pacientes con marcapasos estimulados crónicamente en el ápice del ventrículo derecho (VD). MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal con 85 pacientes con marcapasos uni o bicameral, en clase funcional I y II de la NYHA y fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo (FEVI) > 35 por ciento. La evaluación de disincronía fue realizada utilizando varias técnicas ecocardiográficas, incluyendo el Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI), con análisis de los 12 segmentos. El BNP fue dosado junto con el ecocardiograma, aunque con el examinador ciego. RESULTADOS: Cuarenta y seis mujeres y 39 hombres, con edad de 58 ± 12 años, chagásicos (56 por ciento) e hipertensos controlados (62 por ciento), fueron incluidos. La fracción de eyección del VI fue 52 ± 8 por ciento y la duración media del QRS de 139 ms (120-180 ms). El BNP se mostró alterado en 36,5 por ciento de la muestra (punto de corte de 60 pg/ml). En el análisis multivariado de regresión lineal, el BNP se correlacionó con la edad (p = 0,024), FEVI (p < 0,0001) y tiempo pre-eyectivo del VI (p = 0,009), que es índice de disincronía intraventricular. CONCLUSIÓN: En pacientes con estimulación cardíaca convencional, estables clínicamente, la disincronía intraventricular fue un predictor independiente del aumento de los niveles de BNP, después de ajuste por edad y FEVI.

A estimulação ventricular direita convencional pode estar associada a efeitos deletérios sobre a função cardíaca. A necessidade de uma estimulação cardíaca artificial mais fisiológica é, indiscutivelmente, um dos pontos mais importantes na área da eletroterapia cardíaca. Os algoritmos de programação para a manutenção da condução atrioventricular própria, a estimulação de sítios endocárdicos alternativos e a terapia de ressincronização cardíaca são utilizados com o intuito de alcançar este objetivo. A estimulação do feixe de His e a estimulação septal têm sido estudadas como sítios endocárdicos alternativos para o posicionamento do eletrodo no ventrículo direito. A estimulação septal representa uma alternativa simples, prática e sem custos adicionais e com potenciais benefícios na redução dos efeitos deletérios da estimulação do ventrículo direito. Entretanto, esse sítio alternativo envolve um grupo heterogêneo de pacientes e apresenta resultados conflitantes quanto ao seu benefício clínico a longo prazo. Este artigo faz uma revisão das evidências científicas sobre os sítios alternativos de estimulação ventricular direita, com ênfase na segurança do procedimento, na medida dos parâmetros eletrofisiológicos, na avaliação da função ventricular esquerda e no acompanhamento clínico dos pacientes.


The conventional right ventricular stimulation can be associated with deleterious effects on cardiac function. The need for a more physiological artificial cardiac stimulation is undoubtedly one of the most important points in the area of cardiac electrotherapy. The programming algorithms for the maintenance of adequate atrioventricular conduction, the stimulation of alternative endocardial sites and the cardiac resynchronization therapy are used with the objective of attaining these goals. The stimulation of the bundle of His and the septal stimulation have been studied as alternative endocardial sites for the positioning of the electrode on the right ventricle. The septal stimulation represents a simple and practical alternative, with no additional costs involved and with potential benefits in decreasing the deleterious effects of the right ventricular stimulation. However, this alternative site involves a heterogeneous group of patients and presents conflicting results regarding its long-term clinical benefit. This article reviews the scientific evidence on the alternative sites for right ventricular stimulation, with emphasis on the safety of the procedure, the measurement of the electrophysiological parameters, assessment of the left ventricular function and the clinical follow-up of patients.

The primary concern in patients with bifascicular block is the increased risk of progression to complete heart block. Further, an additional first-degree A-V block in patients with bifascicular block or LBBB might increase the risk of block progression. Anesthesia, monitoring and surgical techniques can induce conduction defects and bradyarrhythmias in patients with pre-existing bundle branch block. In the setting of an acute MI, several different types of conduction disturbance may become manifest and complete heart block occurs usually in patients with acute myocardial infarction more commonly if there is pre-existing or new bundle branch block. The question that arises is whether it is necessary to insert a temporary pacing catheter in patients with bifascicular block undergoing anesthesia. It is important that an anesthesiologist should be aware of the indications for temporary cardiac pacing as well as the current recommendations for permanent pacing in patients with chronic bifascicular and trifascicular block. This article also highlights the recent guidelines for temporary transvenous pacing in the setting of acute MI and the different pacing modalities that are available for an anesthesiologist.

Fundamento: A terapia de ressincronização cardíaca (TRC) é uma opção efetiva para os pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca (IC) avançada. Critérios clínicos, eletrocardiográficos e ecocardiográficos têm sido estudados na tentativa de selecionar os pacientes que serão beneficiados com a TRC, sendo o ecocardiograma um método utilizado tanto na seleção quanto na avaliação desta terapêutica. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a utilização do ecocardiograma na avaliação da TRC, no seguimento de dez dias e após dois anos de evolução. Métodos: Foram avaliados 20 pacientes submetidos à TRC, por um período de dois anos, sendo 80 por cento do sexo masculino. Foi aplicado o Questionário de Qualidade de Vida de Minnesota, o teste de caminhada de seis minutos e realizado o ecodopplercardiograma bidimensional. Dez dias após o implante do marca-passo biventricular, bem como dois anos depois, foi repetida a avaliação inicial. Resultados: Em dois anos, 5 pacientes (25 por cento) foram a óbito; 4 apresentavam cardiomiopatia de etiologia chagásica. Não houve alteração estatisticamente significante da fração de ejeção entre o período pré-operatório e os dez dias seguintes, mas sim uma alteração significante nos períodos de pré-operatório e dois anos e de dez dias e dois anos. No seguimento de dez dias, houve piora da dissincronia intraventricular avaliada pelo Doppler tecidual, assim como a pontuação no escore de qualidade de vida foi maior no grupo óbito. Conclusão: Dos parâmetros ecocardiográficos avaliados, somente a avaliação da dissincronia intraventricular pelo Doppler tecidual após o procedimento foi capaz de predizer a eficácia da TRC em relação à mortalidade.


Background: The cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective option for patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic criteria have been studied in an attempt to find the patients that will benefit from the CRT, considering that the echocardiogram is the method that is used both in the selection and in the assessment of such therapy. Objective: The objective of this work is to analyze the use of echocardiogram to assess the CRT, in a ten-day follow-up period and after two years of evolution. Methods: The assessment considered 20 patients subjected to CRT, for a period of two years, 80 percent of which were male. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLWHF) was filled out. Patients underwent a six-minute walking test. Then, the two-dimensional echo-Doppler-cardiogram was performed. The initial assessment was repeated ten days after and two year after the implantation of the biventricular pacemaker. Results: In two years, 5 patients (25 percent) died; 4 had cardiomyopathy caused by the Chagas's disease. There was no statistically significant change in the ejection fraction between the pre-operation period and the following ten days, but there was a significant change between the pre-operation period and two years after that, and the ten-day period and two years after that. In the ten-day follow-up period, there was the worsening of the intraventricular dyssynchrony, as evaluated by the tissue Doppler method, and the "living with heart failure" score was higher in the group of deaths. Conclusion: Out of the echocardiographic parameters assessed, only the intraventricular dyssynchrony assessment through the tissue Doppler method, after the procedure, was capable of predict the CRT efficiency with respect to the death rate.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proven its value in adult patients with congestive heart failure of low ejection fraction and wide QRS duration. Contrast to adult patients, CRT has been rarely applied for young patients. We report on a 9-yr-old boy with progressive left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction following chronic VVI pacemaker therapy for congenital complete atrioventricular block associated with maternal anti-SSA/Ro and SSB/La antibody. His LV dysfunction was improved after epicardially established CRT.

The purpose of this prospective study is to quantify the risk of lower limb deep venous thrombosis [DVT] in patients requiring temporary transvenous femoral pacing and to evaluate the use of different enoxaparin dosages [Prophylactic or therapeutic] for thrombus prevention. Transvenous temporary cardiac pacemaker, with catheters frequently used along the femoral vein is useful to relieve difficult bradyarrythmias and some tachyarrythmias. Up to one-third of patients receiving transfemoral pacing develop asymptomatic DVT. At present, there are no recommendations for thrombus prophylaxis in these patients. Besides, the efficacy in this specific condition has not been studied. Sixty consecutive patients who underwent transvenous femoral pacing and had no contraindication to low molecular weight herparin [LMWH] therapy were divided into 3 groups each group consisted of 20 patietns. Group I received prophylactic enoxaparin [1mg/kg/day; subcutaneously], group II received therapeutic enoxaparin [1mg/kg/day every 12 hours; subcutaneously], and group III consisting of patients who were not treated with enoxaparin was considered as control groups. Patients were evaluated daily for clinical features of DVT. Color Doppler sonography imaging was performed on both lower limbs of all patients within 24 hours after removal of the temporary pacemakers. Of the sixty patients, two who belonged to group III, had definitive evidence of right lower limb DVT by color Doppler sonography. These two cases of DVT were asymptomatic and had thrombosis of femoral vein. No evidence of thrombus was detected in contra lateral lower limb. No DVT was detected among patients who received prophylactic or therapeutic doses of enoxaparin. No heparin related complications were detected in this study. There were no significant difference in the clinical characteristics among 2 groups [I,II] and control group. Correlations of age and gender with occurrence of DVT were not significant [P= 0.512, 0.737]. This study showed that DVT is a common complication of femoral pacing, and that its incidence can be reduced with the use of prophylaxis and therapeutic intravenous enoxaparin

FUNDAMENTO: O benefício da estimulação cardíaca em pacientes portadores de cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH) tem sido questionado, sendo escassas as pesquisas sobre este assunto no Brasil. OBJETIVO: Descrever a indicação, a resposta clínica, as complicações e a sobrevida relacionadas ao implante de marcapasso em pacientes portadores de CMH. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados, retrospectivamente, 39 pacientes portadores de cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (41 por cento do sexo masculino) submetidos a implante de marcapasso, no período de maio de 1980 a novembro de 2003. RESULTADOS: Houve 27 portadores da forma obstrutiva e 12 portadores da forma não-obstrutiva com média de idade de 46,4 anos (14-77 anos) seguidos por 6,4 ± 4,1 anos. As principais indicações para implante foram: bloqueio atrioventricular espontâneo ou induzido (54 por cento), refratariedade à terapêutica associada a gradiente elevado (33 por cento), suporte para terapia medicamentosa por bradicardia (8 por cento) e prevenção de fibrilação atrial (5 por cento). Houve melhora na classe funcional de 2,41±0,87 para 1,97±0,92 (p = 0,008), bem como redução do número de sintomas referidos, sem ter havido diferença na utilização da terapia medicamentosa. Não houve óbitos relacionados ao procedimento que, apesar de demonstrar-se seguro, não foi isento de complicações (6 pacientes - 15,4 por cento). Ocorreram três óbitos durante o seguimento, todos em pacientes mulheres, portadoras de fibrilação atrial e com evidências de deterioração funcional. Observou-se uma forte associação de piora clínica com surgimento de fibrilação atrial ou flutter. CONCLUSÃO: A estimulação cardíaca artificial em pacientes com CMH foi bem-sucedida, com evidências de alívio sintomático em pacientes portadores da forma obstrutiva. Não se observou melhora funcional para a forma não-obstrutiva.


BACKGROUND: The benefits of heart stimulation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients have been questioned. Research work available in Brazil on those benefits is scarce. OBJECTIVE: To describe the indication, clinical response, complications and survival time related to pacemaker implant in HCM patients. METHODS: Thirty-nine hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients were studied (41 percent males) and submitted to pacemaker implant from May, 1980 through November, 2003. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients presented obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and 12, non-obstructive. Mean age was 46.4 years of age (range 14 - 77), with follow-up of 6.4 ± 4.1 years. Major indications for implant were: spontaneous or induced atrioventricular block (54 percent), refractoriness to therapeutic conduct associated to high gradient (33 percent), support for drug therapy to treat bradychardia (8 percent), and atrial fibrillation prevention (5 percent). Functional class was shown to improve from 2.41±0.87 to 1.97±0.92 (p = 0.008), and symptoms referred were reduced. No change was made in drug therapy administration. No procedure-related deaths were reported. Although shown to be safe, the procedure was not free from complications (6 patients - 15.4 percent). Three deaths occurred in the follow-up period - the three of them were atrial fibrillation female patients, with evidence of functional deterioration. A close association was observed between clinical condition worsening and the onset of atrial fibrillation or flutter. CONCLUSION: Cardiac pacing in HCM patients was successful, with evidence of symptoms relief in obstructive HCM patients. No functional improvement was observed in non-obstructive patients.

OBJETIVO: Realizar uma análise da estimulação biventricular convencional (BV), da estimulação bifocal (BF) de ventrículo direito (VD) e uma análise comparativa das duas técnicas, em relação aos parâmetros clínicos, funcionais e ecocardiográficos, em uma população sem os critérios de exclusão dos trabalhos clássicos. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados de forma prospectiva, não randomizada, 36 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia para implantes de marcapassos multissítos devido a QRS > 130 ms, disfunção ventricular esquerda grave e insuficiência cardíaca congestiva classe funcional III ou IV. RESULTADOS: Os resultados favoráveis da ressincronização foram obtidos com as duas técnicas, sem diferenças significativas na comparação dos dois grupos, exceto por maior estreitamento do QRS e tendência a menor número de internações no grupo dos BV. Quando os grupos foram analisados individualmente e comparados, antes e após os procedimentos, observamos que as melhoras foram bem mais expressivas no grupo dos biventriculares, assim como os índices de relevância estatística maiores. CONCLUSÃO: A terapia de ressincronização cardíaca mostrou ser terapia eficaz nos 2 grupos analisados, entretanto com resultados mais expressivos no grupo dos biventriculares.


OBJECTIVE:To analyze the conventional biventricular pacing (BV) and the bifocal (BF) right ventricular (RV) pacing, and to perform a comparative analysis of these two techniques in relation to clinical, functional and echocardiographic parameters in a population without the exclusion criteria of the major studies. METHODS:A prospective non-randomized analysis of 36 patients undergoing surgery for multisite pacemaker implantation due to QRS > 130 ms, severe left ventricular dysfunction, and NYHA functional class III or ambulatory class IV congestive heart failure was performed. RESULTS: Favorable results of resynchronization were obtained with both techniques, with no significant differences in the comparison of the two groups, except for a higher QRS narrowing in the BV group, and a trend of a lower number or hospital admissions in the BV group. When the groups were analyzed separately and compared before and after the procedures, we observed that improvement was much more significant in the biventricular group, as were the more statistically relevant rates. CONCLUSION: Cardiac resynchronization therapy proved to be an efficient therapy in both groups analyzed, although with more significant outcomes in the biventricular group.

AIM: To investigate the acute results (parameters at implant and clinical parameters) of permanent pacemaker implantation at our institution. METHODS: Twenty five patients undergoing pacemaker implantation were included in this study. Subjects underwent medical history and functional class was assessed using New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. All technical parameters (pacing threshold, sensing, and pacing impedance) and clinical parameters (complication and procedure time) were measured during and post implant. RESULTS: Majority (80%) of patients were in NYHA functional class II. The commonest indication for pacemaker implant was the complete heart block (56%). The most frequent pacemaker type was single chamber (80%) with the commonest pacing mode of VVIR (72%). Average optimal parameters achieved were pacing threshold of 0.5 volt, sensing of 12.6 mV, and impedance of 829 Ohm. Average procedure time was 1.6 hour. Major complication (pocket infection) was noted in only one patient. CONCLUSION: It is confirmed from this study that permanent pacemaker implantation could be carried out safely and effectively with low complication rate in a general hospital. Optimal pacing parameters could be achieved in the acute phase. Most patients still could not afford appropriate pacing devices due to limited financial support. Government insurance coverage for the poor should be encouraged to cover more people.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a evolucão tardia de criancas com marca-passo definitivo por bradicardia pós-operatória, e identificar fatores de risco para a mortalidade. MÉTODO: De 1980 a 2004, 120 criancas receberam implante de marca-passo definitivo por bradicardia pós-operatória. O intervalo médio entre a correcão do defeito e o implante foi de 1,2 n 2,8 anos, com mediana de 21 dias. Bloqueio atrioventricular esteve presente em 94,2 por cento dos pacientes. A via de acesso transvenosa (78,3 por cento) e marca-passos (MP) definitivos ventriculares (79,2 por cento) foram os mais utilizados. Empregou-se o método de Kaplan-Meier e o teste de Log-Rank para a análise de sobrevivência. RESULTADOS: Após 5,7 n 5,9 anos de seguimento (máximo= 22,5 anos), 97 pacientes estavam vivos e 11 haviam sido perdidos para o seguimento. As principais causas de morte foram insuficiência cardíaca (10), infeccão não relacionada ao marca-passo (seis) e morte súbita (três). A expectativa de sobrevida aos cinco, 10 e 15 anos de seguimento mostrou, respectivamente, índices de 80,9 n 4,1 por cento, 75,4 n 5,5 por cento e 67,2 n 7,4 por cento. A persistência de problemas hemodinâmicos após a correcão (correcões paliativas, uso de próteses valvares ou defeitos residuais) foi identificada como única variável preditora independente de risco para mortalidade, alterando significativamente as curvas de sobrevivência (p = 0,0123). CONCLUSÕES: O implante de marca-passo em casos de bradicardia pós-operatória possibilitou boa expectativa de sobrevida. A realizacão de correcões paliativas, assim como a presenca de defeitos residuais ou de próteses valvares, foram os únicos fatores preditores de mau prognóstico para essas criancas.
