Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of biventricular and high septal pacing on the normal contraction sequence of the helical ventricular
myocardial band, and its impact on left ventricular function. Methods: Ten pigs (25—68 kg) underwent analysis of percent segmental shortening
(SS%) by sonomicrometry, with crystals placed along the fiber orientation of the ascending, descending segments, and posterior LV wall within the
spatial geometry of the helical heart. Unipolar pacing electrodes stimulated the right atrium (RA) and either the right ventricular apex and left
ventricular posterior wall (atrio-biventricular), or the proximal high septum (atrio-high septal). Systemic hemodynamics, QRS-interval, cardiac
index (CI), systolic and diastolic LV functions and pressure—dimension loops (P—D) were analyzed and cardiac motion was monitored by video
analysis.
