Abstract

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of long-term ventricular pacing on myocardial perfusion and function in patients receiving such pacing. BACKGROUND The long-term effect of ventricular pacing on myocardial perfusion and function in humans is unclear, although animal studies have suggested that it may be adverse. METHODS Forty-three patients with complete heart block and dual-chamber rate-adaptive (DDDR) pacing were studied. All underwent thallium-201 (Tl-201) exercise myocardial scintigraphy to assess myocardial perfusion and radionuclide ventriculography to determine left ventricular function and regional wall motion. Coronary angiography was also performed in patients with abnormal findings on Tl-201 study. RESULTS There was no significant difference in mean age, gender, percent ventricular pacing, pacing threshold, ventricular pacing output and metabolic equivalents on exercise testing between patients with or without perfusion defects on exercise Tl-201 scintigraphy. However, the duration of pacing tended to be longer in patients with than in those without perfusion defects (43.9 +/- 49.7 vs. 20.1 +/- 9.8 months, p = 0.05). Tl-201 perfusion defects were noted in 28 (65%) of 43 of patients (inferior 78% [n = 22], apical 67% [n = 17], septal 21% [n = 6], anterior 7% [n = 2], lateral 3% [n = 1)]. Of 16 of 28 patients with abnormal Tl-201 findings who underwent coronary angiography, only 3 (19%) had significant coronary artery disease. Patients with an abnormal perfusion defect had a significantly lower left ventricular ejection fraction (48.5 +/- 9.9% vs. 59.6 +/- 8.9%, p < 0.001) and a higher percent of wall motion abnormalities (57% vs. 20%, p = 0.026), mainly over apical regions. CONCLUSIONS Long-term right ventricular apical pacing resulted in a high incidence of myocardial perfusion defects that increased with the duration of pacing. These myocardial perfusion abnormalities were associated with apical wall motion abnormalities and impaired global left ventricular function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
