Mechanistic implication of decreased plasma atrial natriuretic peptide level for transient rise in the atrial capture threshold early after ICD or CRT-D implantation
2018
Purpose
Despite the use of steroid-eluting leads, a transient but not persistent rise in the atrial/ventricular capture threshold (TRACT/TRVCT) can occur early after pacemaker implantation in patients with sick sinus syndrome. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, predictors, and mechanisms of TRACT/TRVCT in patients with heart failure undergoing implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation.
