Características, benefícios e consequências dos algoritmos de minimização da estimulação do ventrículo direito por dispositivos de estimulação cardíaca artificial Characteristics, benefits and consequences of right ventricle stimulation minimizing algorithms by artificial cardiac pacing devices

Implantable artificial cardiac pacing devices (permanent pacemakers, cardioverter-defibrillators and multisite pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy) have well-established benefits and expanding indications. Several studies and publications have demonstrated that conventional artificial cardiac pacing is not free from adverse effects (ventricular desynchronization, risk of heart failure and mortality). Technological advances in cardiac electrotherapy have led to new algorithms and device programming strategies, particularly those that minimize right ventricle pacing by atrioventricular interval programming. Currently and whenever reliable, strategies that explore intrinsic atrioventricular conduction to a maximum are recommended for carriers of permanent pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators to avoid the potential deleterious consequences of artificial right
