Leadless Pacemaker Implant Location as a Predictor of Pacing Induced Cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Leadless pacemakers (LPs) avoid the lead- and pocket-related complications of transvenous systems, but they pace exclusively from the right ventricle (RV), and chronic RV pacing carries a recognized risk of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM). Whether implant location within the RV, a potentially modifiable...
