Objectives: To inquire, whether right ventricular (RV) pacing worsens the systolic function of the right ventricle (RV) and, if need be, which position of the RV pacing lead is more favourable with regard to the RV systolic function. To test the ability of the 3D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), to verify the position of the pacing lead Methods: 37 patients were included in the study in the period since March 2013 to March 2016. This sample was divided in to two groups: with apical and septal position of the lead. For evaluation of the systolic function of the right ventricle we have used tricuspid annulus plain systolic excursions (TAPSE) and tricuspid annulus systolic velocity (TASV) parameters. For statistical analysis we have used pair t-test. We have also studied the influence... view more»
