Baseline (AAI) versus CRT (AV sequential LV pacing) changes in cardiac structure and function
| Parameter | Patient 1 | Patient 2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAI | CRT | AAI | CRT | |
| LVEF, % | >55 | >55 | 51 | 52 |
| Strain pattern | Classic | Normal | Classic | Normal |
| MPI | 0.58 | 0.45 | 0.75 | 0.57 |
| dP/dtmax, mmHg/ms | 1.1 | 1.3 | 1.0 | 1.2 |
| dP/dtmin, mmHg/ms | −0.8 | −1.0 | −1.1 | −1.1 |
| Tau, ms | 70.6 | 68.4 | 67 | 69.3 |
| LA pressure, mmHg | 12 | 10 | 15 | 14 |
| V-waves, mmHg | 25 | 17 | 26 | 25 |
| LVEDP, mmHg | 21.0 | 20.4 | 11.0 | 11.3 |
CRT = cardiac resynchronization therapy, LA = left atrial, LV = left ventricular, LVEDP = left ventricular end diastolic pressure, LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction, MPI = myocardial performance index
