However, the right ventricular (RV) apical pacing-induced asynchrony, even maintaining the atrioventricular (AV) sequential activation, has depressed left ventricular contractility. Whether RV septal pacing would less compromise the electromechanical performance of the left ventricle and the chronotropic effect on myocardial contractility, is unknown.enasynchrony; echocardiography; electrocardiograms; pacemaker; septal pacing; CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY; FORCE-FREQUENCY RELATION; COMPLETE HEART-BLOCK; SICK-SINUS SYNDROME; TERM-FOLLOW-UP; LONG-TERM; NONINVASIVE ASSESSMENT; FAILURE; ATRIAL; ECHOCARDIOGRAPHYSeptal pacing preserving better left ventricular mechanical performance and contractile synchronism than apical pacing in patients implanted with an atrioventricular sequential dual chamber pacemakerjournal article10.1016/j.ijcard.2006.03.087169626742-s2.0-34047098723WOS:000246320200016https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/530921
