Abstract Background Dual-chamber cardiac pacing is thought to deliver higher clinical benefits as compared with single-chamber ventricular pacing. During the last two decades, 3D-echocardiography developed from a sophisticated, time-consuming method preferably used as a scientific tool towards a routine clinical approach. At present, available evidence suggested that 3D echocardiography provided improved accuracy and reproducibility over 2D methods for LV volume and function calculation. It was also more useful for early detection of volumetric changes associated with changes in cardiac hemodynamics. Methods This was an observational study of fifty consecutive patients without structural heart disease and preserved ejection fraction (EF>50%) presented with high grade atrioventricular block for permanent pacemaker implantation. They were assigned to receive a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker (23patients) or a dual-chamber pacemaker (27 patients). Stroke volume and cardiac output was assessed by full volume 3D echo and pulsed wave Doppler before implantation, at one-week and 6-months after implantation. For the Doppler method, LVOT diameter was measured for each patient at baseline and same value was used at follow up to avoid any confounding factors. GLS was measured at all visits. Results At one-week post pacing, both groups showed a significant decrease in SV due to a drop in EDV while ESV did not change significantly. There was a significant increase in cardiac output (COP) more in dual-chamber pacing group than in the group with single-chamber pacing. However, there were no significant differences between both groups regarding stroke volume (SV), end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV) or ejection fraction (EF) during all time intervals (pre-pacing, at one-week and 6-months post pacing). GLS showed equal decrease in both groups. At 6 months, SV continued to decrease, and COP showed significant decrease. This drop in SV and COP was due to a significant increase in ESV while EDV did not show significant change at 6-month follow up. There was no significant difference between full volume 3D and Doppler methods regarding SV and COP values at all time intervals in both groups. GLS showed additional equal decrease in both groups. Conclusion Dual chamber pacing provided higher COP than single chamber pacing. This is due to pacing at higher heart rates, not due to increase in SV by maintaining atrioventricular synchrony. It was shown in both experimental and clinical studies that RV pacing leads to ventricular dyssynchrony, similar to that of left bundle branch block with subsequent electrical, mechanical and anatomical changes leading to detrimental effects on left ventricular structure and function. Both groups showed significant drop in GLS plus SV, COP and EF at 6-months due to significant increase in ESV. 2D echocardiography and Doppler method were not inferior to 3D echocardiography regarding calculation of SV and COP.

Abstract   A single-chamber ICD is a standard method for primary SCD prophylaxis. In patients with chronic atrial fibrillation it does not contribute to the regularization of heart rate, which is crucial for proper treatment. Moreover, to avoid the deleterious effect of right ventricular pacing only minority of the patients with single chamber ICD get the appropriate, recommended dose of beta-blockers. The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy of direct His-bundle pacing in a population of patients with congestive heart failure and chronic atrial fibrillation using upgrade from single chamber to dual-chamber ICD and atrial channel to perform the His-bundle pacing Methods The study population included 39 patients (37 men, 2 women) aged 67.2±9.3 years, with CHF and chronic AF implanted primarily with single chamber ICD with established pharmacotherapy and stable clinical status. Results The echocardiography measurements at baseline and during follow-up were presented in the table: During short period (3–6 months) of follow-up the mean values of EF and LV dimensions significantly improved. This was also accompanied by functional status improvement. Conclusions His-bundle-based pacing in CHF-chronic AF patients contributes to significant echocardiographic and clinical improvement. Standard single-chamber ICD implantation in CHF-chronic AF patients yields only SCD prevention without influence on remodeling process. The physiological pacing contributes to better pharmacotherapy.

Abstract Background In the Polish ICD Registry population secondary prevention recipients account for over 27%. Despite the evolution of indications for secondary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), recommendations regarding the use of ICDs for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) rely on information from a small number of randomized controlled trials that were performed decades ago, with mixed results. Moreover, research on the outcomes after implantations for secondary prevention of ICDs is limited. While dual-chamber devices offer theoretical advantage over single-chamber devices, dual-chamber ICDs (DC-ICDs) were announced not superior to single-chamber (SC-ICDs) in some research. Purpose Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the all-cause mortality among patients from the Polish ICD Registry receiving either a single- or a dual-chamber device for secondary prevention in contemporary clinical practice. Methods All patients enrolled in the Polish ICD Registry from 1995 to 2016 were identified. Patients were included in the study if they were designated as receiving an ICD for secondary prevention of SCD after documented tachycardic arrest, sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), or syncope. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess all-cause mortality. Results In the study population of 3596 ICD recipients (mean age 69±12 years, 81% male, SC-ICD 61%, DC-ICD 39%), during mean follow-up of 79±43 months all-cause mortality rate was higher in the dual-chamber group than in the single chamber group, with a significant difference between the two groups as depicted in Kaplan-Meier curve (p<0,05). The median survival time was 98 months versus 110 months for SC and DC-ICD, respectively. Conclusions This study is the first to describe the characteristics of a national cohort of patients receiving a secondary prevention ICD in such a long follow-up period in contemporary practice. Implantation of a dual-chamber ICD was associated with higher all-cause mortality compared with single chamber devices.

Background and Aims: The number of pacemaker implantation is increasing at various centres of Nepal with increase in cardiac services. However, there are few data available regarding the pacemaker implantation in Nepal. This study intend to focus and study trends and profile of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) of 19 years experience at the referral tertiary cardiac center which will reflect intended objective of this study. Methods: This was a retrospective cross sectional study done at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre (SGNHC). The data of the patient who underwent PPI from 2001 November to 2020 August were reviewed. Patients data including age, sex, indication for pacing, mode of pacing, type of pacemaker implanted, implantation parameters such as lead impedence and threshold were recorded and analyzed. Results: A total of 3631 pacemaker implantation were performed at SGNHC from 2001 November to 2020 August. Among the total patients, 59.4% were male with mean age of 65.2±15.2 years. The most common indication was degenerative complete heart block (74.8%). Sick sinus syndrome (8.2%) was the second most common indication of pacing. The single chamber were implanted in 93.3% cases and dual chamber in 6.7% cases. VVIR was the most common mode of implantation in 93.1% cases, followed by DDDR (6.7%). AAIR (0.1%) and VDD in 0.1% cases. The total number of pacemaker implanted yearly in SGNHC has increased since the early year of implantation. During the early years most of the pacemakers were Single chamber (VVI) pacemaker and the implantation of dual chamber pacemaker increased gradually from year 2010 onwards. After the year 2010 the implantation of dual chamber pacemaker has increased significantly compared to prior to 2010 (p= 0.001). There were no gender differences in use of single chamber and dual chamber implantation during this period. (p value = 0.489). The dual chamber were implanted mostly in age group less than 65 year compared to more than 65 years (P value = 0.001). Conclusion: There is gradual increase in the number of pacemaker implantation yearly at SGNHC and since 2010 there is also increase in number of dual chamber pacemaker implantation though the single chamber pacemaker outnumbered the dual chamber implantation.

The Impact

Abstract Background Pacemaker (PM) lead interference with tricuspid valve (TV) function is an important determinant of hemodynamic compromise and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Lead-related TV regurgitation (TR) can potentially be mitigated by leadless pacemaker (LP) therapy by eliminating the presence of a transvalvular lead. Purpose This large multicenter study aimed to evaluate the impact of LP therapy on TV function in comparison with an age –, sex, and follow-up duration -matched cohort of transvenous single-chamber (VVI) and dual-chamber (DDD) PM recipients. Methods Leadless, and transvenous VVI and DDD-PM recipients who underwent an echocardiographic study prior to the procedure and 15±6 months thereafter between January 2013 and September 2018 at two tertiary centers in the Netherlands were included. We used the data of a prospectively acquired population that comprised consecutive patients who underwent LP implantation who were 1:1 matched to transvenous VVI-PM and DDD-PM patients. Results A total of 198 patients (129 males, age 79±8.2 years) were included, of whom 66 were implanted with a LP (two models: Nanostim, Micra LP), and 66 with a transvenous VVI and 66 with DDD-PM. In the total cohort, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed that TR severity was graded more severe in 87 (44%), equally in 104 (53%), and less severe in 7 (4%) patients (p<0.001) compared with baseline echocardiographic findings. Worsening TR was observed in 28 (42%) of the LP (p<0.001) and 34 (52%) of transvenous VVI-PM (p<0.001), and 25 (38%) of the DDD-PM recipients (p<0.01). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that LP recipients were equally prone to increasing TV dysfunction compared with transvenous PMs (p=0.42). Septal position of the leadless intracardiac device (odds ratio 3.6, p=0.03) was associated with worsening TR. In the total cohort, 30 (15%) patients had heart failure hospitalization during the follow-up period. Conclusions TR is a malignant disease which can result in high rates of heart failure hospitalization. This study revealed an unexpected high proportion of patients with worsening TR following LP therapy, yet it was comparable to conventional PM systems. The mechanical impact of the LP near the TV apparatus is the most likely cause of this phenomenon since the septal positioning of the device was associated with increasing TV incompetence. The general consensus was that LP therapy mitigates the risk for TV dyfunction due to the circumvention of transvalvular leads. Therefore, the current results are highly clinically relevant as the contradict expected performance of the LP approach.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background and purpose Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMi) is needed in about 5% of patients following heart transplant (HTx) primarily due to sinus node dysfunction (SND), which commonly occurs in an early phase, or to atrio-ventricular block (ABV), which is common later on. Currently, data on rate of ventricular pacing (VP) is lacking and little is known on long-term outcomes after PPMi. Methods This was a retrospective, monocentric study. Among 1123 patients treated with HTx, all with biatrial technique, from november 1985 to march 2019 at our institution, 61 (5.4%) patients needed PPMi. PM parameters, clinical and echocardiographic data were collected at 1 month and at 1-3-5-10 years follow-up. The primary aim was to analyse the percentage of right ventricular pacing in the overall population and in subgroups stratified by the timing of PPMi and by pacing indication. Secondary endpoints were to analyze long-term outcomes according to the percentage of ventricular pacing and to the type of implanted PM (single vs. dual chamber).  Results Among patients treated with PPMi (68.9% single-chamber), 62.2% were implanted for SND and 36% for AVB. Early PPMi (&lt; 3 months after HTx), occurred in 34.4% of patients, mainly due to SND, while late PPMi (&gt; 3 months after HTx) occurred in 65,6% with an equal distribution between SND and AVB. Median follow-up time from HTx was 140 months and 82 months from PPMi. Overall mean rate of VP was 21%. Rate of VP was higher in patients implanted early rather than late after HTx, both at 1 month (91% vs 2%, P = 0,002) and at 1 year after the procedure (43 vs 1, P = 0,037). Patients with AVB had a greater rate of VP compared to those implanted for SND, irrespective of timing of implantation and these findings were still present at 3 and 5 years follow-up (62 vs 1%, P = 0,011 at 3 years and 80 vs 6%, P = 0,002 at 5 years). VP declined progressively after PPM implantation. No differences were observed in terms of 10-years mortality between early vs late PPMi, dual vs single-chamber and mean VP &gt; 21% vs ≤ 21%. Conclusions Patients treated with PPMi after HTx show on average low percentage of VP over long-term follow-up. AV block indication and early implantation are associated with a higher percentage of VP. The rate of VP, the timing of PPMi and the use of single vs dual chamber PM do not affect overall prognosis or left ventricular systolic function. Our data may justify implantation of a single-chamber PPM, which bears less complications and procedural time, in the majority of HTx patients needing PPMi.

Abstract Background Many previous studies reported the negative effects of right ventricular (RV) pacing on the left ventricular (LV) structure and ejection fraction. Studying pacing hemodynamics is essential to understand these detrimental effects. In this study, we tried to understand RV pacing effects on LV volumes and function using advanced tools like 3D echo and global longitudinal strain (GLS). This was a prospective study of 175 consecutive patients (LVEF>50%) presented permanent pacing. Of 175 patients, only 50 patients met study criteria, divided into two groups (single or dual pacing). LV volumes and function were assessed by full-volume 3D echocardiography and GLS before pacing, at 1-week and 6-month post-pacing. Cardiac output (COP) was calculated by pulsed wave Doppler method and 3D echo. Results Doppler method results were similar to 3D echo in calculating SV and COP. At 1-week post pacing, both groups showed a significant decrease in SV due to a drop in EDV while ESV did not change significantly. Despite the drop in SV, there was a significant increase in cardiac output (COP) due to achieving higher heart rates post-pacing. There was a significant drop in EF and GLS in both groups. At 6 months, SV continued to decrease with a corresponding decrease in COP and LVEF. This drop in SV was due to a significant increase in ESV while EDV did not show a significant change at a 6-month follow-up. Also, the drop EF and GLS became more significant. There were no significant differences between both groups regarding the changes in LV volumes (EDV, ESV, SV), LVEF or GLS throughout the study (pre-pacing, at 1-week and 6-months post pacing). However, dual-chamber pacing group provided higher heart rates and as a result higher COP than the single-chamber group. Conclusions RV pacing led to a significant drop in LV COP, ejection fraction (EF), and GLS over short- and long-term duration. Dual chamber pacing provided higher COP than a single chamber pacing. This was due to tracking the S. A node with pacing at higher heart rates not due to an increase in SV and preserving atrioventricular synchrony. Both Doppler method and 3D echo can be used to calculate SV and COP.
