Impact of Conventional Versus Biventricular Pacing on Hemodynamics and Tissue Doppler Imaging Indexes of Resynchronization Postoperatively in Children With Congenital Heart Disease Phat P. Pham, Seshadri Balaji, Irving Shen, Ross Ungerleider, Xiaokui Li, David J. Sahn We studied the effects of atrial, conventional dual-chamber, and biventricular pacing in 19 children with congenital heart disease in the early postoperative period. Cardiac index and tissue Doppler echo data were measured. Cardiac index was improved by biventricular pacing. The tissue Doppler imaging-derived strain rate indexes of dyssynchrony showed worsening with conventional dual-chamber pacing but improvement with biventricular pacing. These findings suggest that short-term biventricular pacing may benefit children with congenital heart disease repair in the postoperative period.
