The relationship of bipolar left ventricular pacing stimulus intensity to cardiac depolarization and repolarization in humans with cardiac resynchronization devices.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Myocardial depolarization can be altered by varying pacing stimulus output. This may have implications on response rates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The purpose of our study was to determine the relationship of left ... Read more...

Left ventricular aneurysm in a child with severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome.

30 Oct 2009 We describe the case of a 23-month-old girl with combined immunodeficiency syndrome and a left ventricular aneurysm. Due to the size of the aneurysm and development of an intramural thrombus, repair was performed after confirmation of bone marrow ... Read more...

Ring-enforced right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit in Norwood stage I reduces proximal conduit stenosis.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: An increasing number of surgeons prefer to place a conduit from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery at the time of the Norwood stage I procedure. Proximal conduit stenoses have led us to modify this technique by using ... Read more...
