J Arrhythm. 2022 Apr 7;38(3):408-415. doi: 10.1002/joa3.12712. eCollection 2022 Jun.

Abstract

There was no significant difference in the incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy between right ventricular apex pacing group and OpenCurlyQuote;true CloseCurlyQuote; mid-right ventricular septum pacing group. The preoperative left ventricular end-systolic diameter and paced QRS duration were independent predictors of PICM.

Keywords: atrioventricular block; mid‐right ventricular septum pacing; pacemaker; pacing‐induced cardiomyopathy; right ventricular apex pacing.
