The Downside of Right Ventricular Apical Pacing

Abstract: The right ventricular (RV) apex has been the standard pacing site since the development of implantable pacemaker technology. Although RV pacing was initially only utilized for the treatment of severe bradyarrhythmias usually due to complete heart block, today the indications for and implantation of RV pacing devices is dramatically larger. Recently, the adverse effects of chronic RV apical pacing have been described including an increased risk of heart failure and death. This review details the detrimental eff… Show more

“…The difference in backup rate between the two groups resulted in a significant difference in the burden of RV pacing (60% vs. 3%). A right-ventricular pacing dose-dependent positive relationship with adverse cardiovascular events was well noted, in keeping with the findings from the MOST trial [ 32 ]. A systematic review and meta-analysis by Hussain et al .…”

“…Native LBBB can cause hemodynamic deterioration due to ventricular dyssynchrony, mainly in patients with heart failure. However, LBBB induced by RV apical pacing seems to lead to worse outcomes when compared to native LBBB, increasing ventricular dyssynchrony [39] , [40] , [41] . The latest LV mechanical activation during RV apical pacing, indeed, is different from that during native LBBB, being more delayed at the baso-lateral LV wall [42] .…”

“…Asynchronous myocardial contraction significantly decreases the stroke volume and right-shifts the LV end-systolic pressure -volume relationship. Thus, RV apical pacing leads to ventricular dyssynchronization, systolic and diastolic ventricular dysfunction, increase of wall stress, and energetic inefficiency [52]. It also causes interventricular dyssynchronization, as the RV contracts earlier than in a physiological model.…”
