Popis: | Background: Haemodynamic and functional effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have been studied mostly at rest. CRT effects on left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and function during stress have not been evaluated in detail. Aims: We studied the electromechanical effects of CRT at rest and during Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), during active and withheld CRT. Methods: Twenty-one responders to CRT (62±12 yr) were assessed by walking test, quality of life, and BNP with active CRT (“off”) and 2 weeks after pacing withdrawal (“off”). DSE (10 μ/kg/min) was performed both at “on” and “off” to evaluate dyssynchrony parameters, systolic and diastolic function. Results: At rest, CRT withdrawal was associated with an increased interventricular mechanical delay (IVMD, from 21±18 ms to 49±24 ms, p |
