| Core Tip |
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the permanent high interventricular septal pacing in a long term follow up, as alternative to right ventricular apical pacing. We retrospective evaluated 244 patients with a narrow QRS implanted with a single/dual chamber pacemaker with ventricular screw-in lead placed at the right ventricular high septal (parahisian) site. Contemporary we checked the clinical evolution of two control groups of patients: without ventricular stimu-lation and with conventional right ventricular apical stimulation. In a long term follow up we observed stability of pacing parameters and ejection fraction, and improvement in New York Heart Association class, quality of life and exercise tolerance.
