Core Tip	A high amount of long-term right ventricular (RV) pacing produces ventricular dyssynchrony and clinical deterioration in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In this patient group, cardiac resynchronization therapy has been shown to improve clinical outcomes and should be considered before a conventional pacemaker. In subjects with normal LVEF, the deleterious effects of RV pacing is less clear; however, specific pacemaker algorithms that minimize RV pacing may improve clinical outcomes in selected patients. Future studies will help to better identify those at risk of suffering the negative effects of RV pacing and define the correct use of preventive therapeutic strategies.
