Differences in right-to-left vs left-to-right interventricular conduction times in patients indicated to cardiac resynchronization therapy.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Differences in conduction times from right ventricle to left ventricle and from left ventricle to right ventricle respectively were observed during biventricular devices implantation when changing pacing vector direction. In this article the phenomenon of interventricular conduction time differences is described and assessed in relationship to various clinical and electrophysiological parameters. METHODS:In 62 consecutive patients (9 females) interventricular conduction times between right and left ventricle in both directions were measured during cardiac resynchronization therapy device implantation procedure. Complex pacing protocol was performed. RESULTS:Investigated individuals was divided into 3 subgroups according to type of interventricular conduction pattern and statis
