The aim of the study was to evaluate atrioventricular and interventricular pacing delay optimization in cardiac resynchroniza-tion therapy by transthoracic impedance cardiography in biventricular pacing with different left ventricular electrode po-sition. In biventricular pacing heart failure patients with lateral, posterolateral and anterolateral left ventricular electrode position, the mean optimal atrioventricular sening delay was 108.6 ± 20.3 ms and the mean optimal interventricular pac-ing delay -12.3 ± 25.9 ms. Transthoracic impedance cardiography may be a useful technique to optimize atrioventricular and interventricular pacing delay in biventricular pacing with different left ventricular electrode position.}, subject = {Herzkrankheit}, language = {en} }
