A dedicated prospective study is therefore warranted for this question to be answered properly.

Guidelines recommending implantation of CRT devices in this group are based solely on analyses of subgroups with small sample sizes. Unfortunately, prospective studies are lacking. Results from CRT are contradictory in this patient group, despite a seemingly neutral trend. Conduction pathways can be either healthy or affected. NICD is most often associated with cardiomyopathy (eg, ischemic or hypertensive). Less studied than RBBB or LBBB, its pathophysiology is both complex and varied yet still reflects intramyocardial conduction delay. However, a large proportion of heart failure patients present with a widened QRS that is neither an LBBB nor a right bundle branch block (RBBB): nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (NICD). CRT was initially developed to treat patients who had left bundle branch block (LBBB) and delayed activation of the lateral left ventricular wall. Dyssynchrony results in widening of the QRS complex on the electrocardiogram (ECG). It aims to correct the electrical dyssynchrony present in 30% to 50% of patients in this population. 2009 Jun 24 301(24):2571-7.Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an electrical treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and wide QRS.

In this study, prolongation of PR interval was associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, pacemaker implantation and all cause mortality. In a long term follow up of 7575 person Framingham cohort, 124 had PR interval more than 200 milliseconds. Loss of atrial contribution to ventricular filling, shortening of diastolic filling time and diastolic mitral regurgitation may contribute to reduction of cardiac output. Marked first degree AV block can reduce cardiac output and may not be well tolerated, especially in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. In that respect, moderate sinus bradycardia may be beneficial.įirst degree heart block though generally considered benign, marked prolongation with PR interval 300 ms or more can produce symptoms similar to those in pacemaker syndrome. Even small increments in heart rate over time was associated with worse prognosis.

Higher resting heart rate is a predictor of cardiovascular risk. This combination is also often seen with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Pure sinus node inhibitors like ivabradine cannot produce this combination. The combination can occur in vagotonic states or in those on beta blockers or other drugs which suppress both the sinus node and the AV node. PR interval is also prolonged at about 320 msec. Sinus bradycardia is evident from the long RR interval of 1280 ms, corresponding to a heart rate of 47 per minute. Sinus bradycardia with first degree AV block
