Popis: | SEDNEY, M.L, et al.: Short-Term and Long-Term Changes of Left Ventricular Volumes During Rate-Adaptive and Single-Rate Pacing To evaluate the adaptation of the heart to exercise during pacing, 15 patients with permanent endocardial pacemakers were studied; nine patients had atrioventricular universal (DDD) pacemakers (Symbios 7005) and six patients had activity detecting rate-responsive ventricular (WIR) pacemakers (Activitrax 8403). Left ventricular function in each patient during rate variable pacing was compared to ventricular function during VVI single-rate pacing. End-systolic and end-diastolic volume changes during exercise were measured by radionuclide angiography and the amount of volume change was used to assess left ventricular function. Both short-term (within 4 hours) and long-term measurements (after at least 4 weeks) were made at rest and at 50% of the maximal exercise capacity in DDD or VVIR mode and were compared with VVI single-rate pacing. All patients, when changed from DDD or VVIR mode to VVI single-rate pacing showed a significant increase of the end-diastolic volume during exercise, which increased even more after long-term VVI pacing. During long-term rate variable pacing, there was no increase of the end-diastolic volume during exercise. DDD or VVIR pacing initially showed a substantial increase of the end-systolic volume during exercise combined with a decrease of left ventricular ejection fraction, suggesting a decrease of the left ventricular contractility. After 4 weeks, contractility improved both with DDD and VVIR pacing. We conclude that short-term DDD and VVIR pacing induces a temporary impairment of left ventricular function that improves after 4 weeks, whereas long-term VVI pacing is associated with left ventricular dilatation even at moderate levels of exercise. |
