Methods A total of 72 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were randomized to RAAVD LUV pacing versus standard biventricular (BiV) pacing in a 1 : 1 ratio. Echocardiography was used to optimize AVD for both groups. The effects of sequential BiV pacing and LUV pacing with optimized A-V (right atrio-LV) delay using an RAAVD algorithm were compared. The standard deviation (SD) of the S/R ratio in lead VI at five heart rate (HR) segments (Rs/R-SD5), defined as the "tracking index," was used to evaluate the accuracy of the RAAVD algorithm for tracking physiological AVD. Results TheQRS complex duration (132 ± 9.8 vs. 138± 10ms, P 〈 0.05), the time required for optimization (21 ±5 vs. 50±8min, P〈 0.001), the mitral regurgitant area (1.9 ± 1.1 vs. 2.5 ± 1.3 em2, P 〈 0.05), the interventricular mechanical delay time (60.7 ± 13.3 ms vs. 68.3 ± 14.2 ms, P 〈 0.05), and the average annual cost (13,200 ± 1000 vs. 21,600 ± 2000 RMB, P 〈 0.001) in the RAAVD LUV pacing group were significantly less than those in the standard BiV pacing group. The aortic valve velocity-time integral in the RAAVD LUV pacing group was greater than that in the standard BiV pacing group (22.7 ± 2.2 vs. 21.4 ± 2.1 cm, P 〈 0.05). The Rs/R-SD5 was 4.08 ± 1.91 in the RAAVD LUV pacing group, and was significantly negatively correlated with improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (ALVEF, Pearson's r = -0.427, P = 0.009), and positively correlated with New York Heart Association class (Spearman's r - 0.348, P 0.037). Conclusions RAAVD LUV pacing is as effective as standard BiV pacing, can be more physiological than standard BiV pacing, and can de- crease the average annual cost of CRT.展开更多

METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 20 patients(age 59.45 ± 18.1 years; male: 65%) with CHB, who were implanted with a dual chamber pacemaker. The left ventricular outflow tract velocity time-integral was measured after AV/PV delay optimization by both echocardiography and Quick Opt algorithm method. Bland-Altman analysis was used for agreement between the two techniques. RESULTS: The optimal AV and PV delay determined by echocardiography was 155.5 ± 14.68 ms and 122.5 ± 17.73 ms(P < 0.0001), respectively and by Quick Opt method was 167.5 ± 16.73 and 117.5 ms ± 9.10 ms(P < 0.0001), respectively. A good agreement was observed between optimal AV and PV delay as measured by two methods. However, the correlation of the optimal AV(r = 0.0689, P = 0.77) and PV(r = 0.2689, P = 0.25) intervals measured by the two techniques was poor. The time required for AV/PV optimization was 45.26 ± 1.73 min by echocardiography and 0.44 ± 0.08 min by Quick Opt method(P < 0.0001).CONCLUSION: The programmer based IEGM method is an automated, quick, easier and reliable alternative to echocardiography for the optimization of AV/PV delay in CHB patients, implanted with a dual chamber pacemaker.展开更多
