- Abstract
Aims: Right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing may induce mechanical dyssynchrony. However, its impact on patients with normal ejection fraction (EF) is not fully understood. This study examined the prevalence and predictors of RVA pacing-induced systolic dyssynchrony by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE), and evaluated its impact on left ventricular (LV) function.
