NCT00825006 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To investigate the hemodynamic, inter and intraventricular desynchrony effects of anodal stimulation and triple site pacing compared with the usual dual site pacing by echocardiography and Tissue Doppler Imaging.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Triple site pacing mode

The experimental "Triple site pacing mode" includes pacing with Cardiac resynchronization therapy device using two leads; one in the right ventricle (RV) and one in the left ventricle (LV) but stimulates three sites: LV tip, RV tip and RV ring (instead of the usual two sites: LV tip and RV ring. Patients with evidence of improved LV dyssinchrony parameters during the triple pacing mode (anodal stimulation) will be programmed to anodal stimulation for 3 months.
