Risk factors of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy-Insights from lead position

Abstract

There was no significant difference in the incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy between right ventricular apex pacing group and OpenCurlyQuote;true CloseCurlyQuote; mid-right ventricular septum pacing group. The preoperative left ventricular end-systolic diameter and paced QRS duration were independent predictors of PICM.
