RV Pacing May Worsen Even Preserved-EF Heart Failure: Pooled Analysis

A pooled patient-level analysis supports emerging evidence that conventional right ventricular pacing may be deleterious in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Among more than 8000 ...

All ECG 23

This ECG shows ventricular pacing. Note the pacer spike prior to each QRS complex, most apparent in leads V5 and V6. The P waves appear sinus in origin and have no association with the QRS complexes ...
