Pacemaker Electrode Lead Displacement
Conditions
Brief summary
Characterization of pacing thresholds in available pacing vectors of quadripolar leads used for cardiac resynchronization therapy in a short term follow-up.
Detailed description
Multipolar left ventricular leads are increasingly used in cardiac resynchronization therapy. Lead dislodgment requiring re-intervention is rare. However, data on minor lead movements which may affect pacing capabilities and application of new pacing algorithms is scarce. Aim of the study is to characterize pacing thresholds of each of the implanted electrodes on quadripolar leads in a short term follow-up.
