Phrenic stimulation: a challenge for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

9 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Phrenic stimulation (PS) may hinder left ventricular (LV) pacing. We prospectively observed its prevalence in consecutive patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the years 2003 to 2006, 197 ... Read more...

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease.

30 May 2009 This article presents advancements in the field of fetal echocardiography and the significant impact of these within the fields of pediatric cardiology, perinatology, and neonatology. A prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease allows for ... Read more...

The role of speckle tracking strain imaging in cardiac pacing.

27 Feb 2009 In recent years, concerns have been raised about possible harmful effects of long-term right ventricular (RV) apical pacing. These detrimental effects may be related to changes in left ventricular (LV) mechanics during RV apical pacing. As a ... Read more...
