Sažetak
Significant number of our patients after the first IEGM-based device optimization still has the presence of septal flash with its unfavourable consequences of intraventricular mechanics. In a great percentage of our patients residual septal-to-poste - rior mechanical delay was also found. LV intraventricular dyssynchrony represented the most important type of residual dysyn - chrony in our study that required significant change in initial VV delay (pacing interval between left and right lead) in most Pts. In our study we found that in spite of optimal paced QRS width, the majority of the patients still have unsatisfactory mechanical response that could be improved by echocardiography-based CRT optimization immediately after implantation, in order to attain the precise mechanical synchrony of LV wall motion followed by reverse remodelling of the LV.
