ABSTRACT

Con el paso del tiempo el número de pacientes portadores de dispositivos de estimulación cardíaca (marcapasos, resincronizadores y desfibriladores) ha aumentado de manera exponencial y ha llevado a que médicos de todas las especialidades tengan mayor exposición a los electrocardiogramas. Conocer el funcionamiento de estos dispositivos es, por tanto, necesario para comprender los cambios que se producen en el electrocardiograma de superficie, identificar los hallazgos normales y reconocer las distintas manifestaciones de la disfunción de estos dispositivos. En este artículo se revisan, de manera clara y concreta, conceptos básicos de diseño, funcionamiento y programación de los dispositivos de estimulación cardíaca, de modo que el lector desarrolle un esquema para la evaluación electrocardiográfica de estos.


Over the last decades, the number of patients with cardiac stimulation devices (including pacemakers, resynchronization devices and automatic implantable cardiac defibrillators) has increased exponentially, exposing an ever increasing number of health professionals from different areas of medicine to their electrocardiograms. Thorough knowledge of proper device function is crucial to understanding electrocardiographic changes induced by cardiac stimulation, identifying normal findings, and recognizing the different manifestations of device malfunction. In this article, basic concepts on device design, programming and proper function will be discussed, allowing the reader to develop an organized step wise approach to interpret the electrocardiogram of patients with cardiac stimulation devices.

ABSTRACT

A 62-year-old man had suffered from massive pedal edema, dyspnea and sinus bradycardia for 10 days. He had been heavy drinker for over 20 years. He was transferred to our hospital with severe heart failure. Echocardiography showed severe diffuse hypokinesis of left ventricular wall motion (EF20%) with dyssynchrony, and thrombus in the left ventricular apex. Under a diagnosis of LV thrombus due to severe heart failure, we made a plan for an emergency open heart surgery, but it could not be performed because of initial cardiogenic embolic stroke. Therefore, we waited for 2 weeks while performing anticoagulation therapy. The removal of LV thrombus and atrio-biventricular pacing for heart failure due to dyssynchrony were performed 2 weeks later. The pathological specimen of myocardium showed marked fibrous and hypertrophic change, which were similar to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy due to alcohol intake for many years is similar to a clinical image of dilated cardiomyopathy, but its clinical prognosis by abstinence is not bad. In this case we performed an urgent open heart surgery due to cardiogenic embolic stroke, but must be essentially performed as an emergency operation. Postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged 21 days after open heart surgery without any complications.

ABSTRACT

Although the estimates from limited studies vary on the proportion of patients with heart failure who also have ventricular dyssynchrony as reflected by a prolonged QRS complex, often in the form of left bundle branch block, the number of such patients is large (27% to 53%) and it is certainly in excess of the rate for the general population. Among these patients, 10% to 15% are candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) via biventricular pacing. Accumulated evidence from randomized controlled studies over the last few years has indicated that significant hemodynamic and clinical improvement is conferred by CRT to the class III or IV heart failure patients with idiopathic or ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and who also have a low left ventricular ejection fraction ( or =120-150 ms). Newer data suggest a significant reduction in mortality and heart failure hospitalization, particularly when CRT is combined with an automatic defibrillator backup. This technique has transformed the traditional concepts associated with stimulation of the heart, and it is now being applied not only to restore an appropriate heart rate, but also to change the process of cardiac mechanical activation. Since this treatment must be integrated within a comprehensive and multidisciplinary CHF management program, CRT has altered the medical practice of heart experts in the field of cardiac pacing. Technical advances with percutaneous methods that access the tributaries of the cardiac veins have raised the success rate of implanting left ventricular leads to >90%. Further confirmation from ongoing trials is eagerly awaited, and more data from the studies on this procedure's cost effectiveness are needed before CRT is considered as a prime therapy in the heart failure population.

ABSTRACT

Los diferentes modos de tratamiento de los que se dispone en la actualidad para la insuficiencia cardíaca no han logrado mejorar la calidad de vida y el pronóstico de personas que tienen algún padecimiento cardíaco en fase terminal. Algunos recursos terapéuticos como el trasplante cardíaco son accesibles sólo para pacientes muy selectos. En la última década ha crecido el interés por la participación que tienen las alteraciones electromecánicas en la falla cardíaca y ello ha motivado un interés especial por el uso de marcapasos como parte de la terapia de la insuficiencia cardíaca. En el transcurso de un período relativamente corto se han podido ver importantes avances de esta estrategia terapéutica y en la actualidad diversos estudios multicéntricos han demostrado el beneficio hemodinámico que reciben los pacientes tratados por este medio. Aún falta por definir mejor los criterios de selección de pacientes para estos dispositivos, sin embargo, en la actualidad se puede saber qué pacientes tendrán un mayor beneficio con el implante de un marcapasos tricameral.


The different means for treating congestive heart failure have not yet achieved the improvement in quality of life and the prognosis of people with terminal stage cardiac disease. Some treatment resources, such as cardiac transplant, are only accessible for a selected group of patients. In the last decade, the interest on the role of electromechanic disturbances has grown and has motivated special interest for the use of the pace-maker as a tool for the treatment of congestive heart failure. During this period we have seen an important progress of this kind of treatment and, nowadays, multicenter studies have shown the hemodynamic improvement of the patients treated with this method. Selection of patients for this kind of treatment should be careful; although today it can be known which patients can benefit from this device in the treatment of congestive heart failure.

ABSTRACT

Objective The aim was to investigate the manupulation and the localization of LV Lead, and to evaluate LV Lead usefulness in biventricular pacing.Methods 9 Patients with enlarged left ventricle, chronic heart failure, CLBBB and refractory to chemical therapy were selected in this study, including 8 males and 1 female. Coronary sinus venography was performed by injecting contrast medium retrogradely at coronary sinus ostium in 7 cases or antegradely into left coronary artery in 2 cases. LV lead was introduced to CS and localized at targeting vein of LV through a "peel away" guiding sheath, which was placed in CS via left subclavian vein route. Results Coronary sinus and its tributaris were clearly visualized by both antegrate cardiac venography and retrograte cardiac venography. 2187 leads were implanted into targeting veins through "peel away" guiding sheaths in 6 cases and directly introduced in 2 cases, while in other case the lead was inserted into coronary sinus directly after a failed procedure via a "peel away" guiding sheath. The leads were placed in great cardiac vein in 1 case, lateral LV vein in 2 cases, left posterior LV vein in 2 case and left posterolateral veins in 4 cases. The acute pacing and sensing thresholds measuered during the implanting procedure were in normal limits. 2187 leads were still fully functional without dislocalization during follow up of average 253 days. Conclusion CS and its tributaries can be clearly shown by antegrate and retrograte venographies. The introduction of 2187 left ventricular pacing is easily performed directly or through a preformed "peel away" guiding sheath. LV epicardium pacing by 2187 LV lead implanted through CS is feasible and reliable.
