Title / Titel	Cardiac synchrony and function with chronic single-site left versus right ventricular epicardial pacing in paediatric patients after patch closure of ventricular septal
PDF	Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung	Numerous anatomical pathologies or post-surgical injuries of the conduction system may cause ventricular dyssynchrony in paediatric patients. We evaluated the impact of chronic single-site left (LVP) versus right ventricular pacing (RVP) on ventricular synchrony and function in paediatric patients with patch closure for a large ventricular septal defect (VSD). Those with a small VSD less than 5mm, ventricular pacing less than 99%, and less than 1 year will be excluded. An age matched group of patients with VSD closure in sinusrhythm will serve as control group. Conventional echocardiography, colour Doppler M-mode, myocardial circumferential (LV) and longitudinal (RV) 2D strain (2Ds) analysis will be obtained.
