Background/Introduction
Changes in left ventricular (LV) myocardial perfusion according to LV pacing site during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has only been sparsely described.
Purpose
To assess changes in LV global and regional myocardial perfusion according to LV pacing site after six months CRT.
Methods
Data from patients enrolled in the randomized controlled trial "Electrically vs. Imaging-guided Left Ventricular Lead Placement in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy" was evaluated.
Global and segmental absolute myocardial perfusion in ml/g/min was assessed by 82Rb-PET the day before CRT implantation and at six-months follow-up (6MFU). The exact LV pacing site was determined by post-implant cardiac CT. Perfusion and pacing site were evaluated using the standard 17’-segment LV model. Echocardiographic assessment of LV ejection fraction (EF) was performed the day before CRT implantation and at 6MFU.
Results
93 patients (age 71±9 years; ischemic heart disease 48%; female 25%; median QRS 166±20 ms; mean LVEF 30±7%; NYHA class I/II/III/IV (%) 0/63/33/3) were included.
Distribution of LV pacing sites is shown in Figure 1.
No change in LV global perfusion was observed from baseline to 6MFU (0.79 to 0.81 ml/g/min, P=0.41; respectively).
LV EF increased by 9±10%. Baseline global perfusion was higher in the 39 patients in whom LV EF had increased ≥10% at 6MFU (0.86 vs. 0.74 ml/g/min, P=0.02; respectively). However, no difference in perfusion-change was observed between patients with ≥10% increase in LV EF at 6MFU and patients with |
