Abstract

Objective: To determine the effects of ventricular 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 and descending segments, and posterior LV wall of the
geometry of the helical heart. Unipolar pacing electrodes stimulated either the right atrium (RA), right ventricular apex (RVA) and outflow tract
(RVOT), or posterior LV wall. Systemic hemodynamics, QRS-interval, cardiac index (CI), systolic and diastolic LV function and pressure—dimension
(P—D) loops were analyzed and cardiac motion was monitored by video analysis.
