Abstract
Background: This study investigates the impact of Right Ventricular (RV) pacing on RV function, a topic previously underexplored despite known links between RV pacing and Left Ventricular dysfunction. A prospective study is conducted to assess the occurrence of RV dysfunction by 2D and 3D echocardiography at 3 months & 6 months after pacemaker implantation.
Methods: This is a prospective, descriptive, single-centre study. All patients who underwent pacemaker implantation assessed for RV function by 2D and 3D Echocardiography at baseline, 3 months & 6 months post-implantation. The change in the follow-up period is evaluated using single factor analysis of variance ANOVA with repeated measures in normally distributed data & Bonferroni post-hoc test. A p value of <0.05 is considered statistically significant.
Results: From January 2022 to December 2022, a total of 66 patients with permanent pacemaker were enrolled in the study. There was statistically significant changes in mean PASP (mm Hg) during follow up (18.45 ± 3.45 (Baseline) vs. 22.18 ± 3.76 (3-month) vs 26.45 + 3.97 , p value <0.05) ; mean RIMP during follow up ( 0.48 ± 0.04 (Baseline) vs. 0.50 ± 0.04 (3-month) vs 0.50 + 0.03 (6-month) , p value <0.05) ;mean RV E/E’ during follow up ( 4.47 ± 0.57 (Baseline ) vs. 4.70 ± 0.74 (3-month) vs 4.95 + 0.82 (6-month) , p value <0.05) ;mean TR Jet Area (cm2) during follow up ( 1.68 ± 0.26 (Baseline) vs. 2.22 ± 0.43 (3-month) vs 2.56 + 0.53 (6-month), p value <0.05).Other echocardiographic parameters of RV function did not show any significant changes
Conclusions: The study documents change in RV function as early as 6 months post pacemaker implantation. The permanent pacemaker is associated with changes in RIMP, RV E/E’, PASP, and TR Jet Area during 6 months after ventricular pacing.
