Background—Right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing creates abnormal left ventricular contraction, hypertrophy, and
reduced pump function. The adverse effects of ventricular desynchronization may explain the association of RVA
pacing with an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) in clinical trials.
Methods and Results—Baseline and postimplantation variables were used to predict HFH in the Mode Selection Trial, a
2010-patient, 6-year trial of dual-chamber (DDDR) versus ventricular (VVIR) pacing in sinus node dysfunction. A Cox
model showed that New York Heart Association (NYHA) class at baseline and follow-up predicted HFH (hazard ratio
[HR], 3.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.74 –5.79 for NYHA class III/IV and HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.54 –3.04 for
NYHA class II versus class I); other predictors were heart failure (HR, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.70 –3.11), atrioventricular (**)
block (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.11–1.97), and myocardial infarction (MI)(HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.00 –1.86). Postimplantation
predictors were VVIR cumulative percent ventricular pacing (Cum%VP) 80 (HR, 3.58; 95% CI, 1.72–7.45), DDDR
Cum%VP 40 or VVIR Cum%VP 80 (HR, 1.81; 95% CI, 0.94 –3.50) versus DDDR Cum%VP 40; whether QRS
duration (QRSd) was paced or spontaneous (HR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.39 –3.54; spontaneous versus paced); and drugs for
atrial fibrillation (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.19 –2.15). Low baseline ejection fraction (EF) and postimplantation RVA-paced
or spontaneous QRSd predicted HFH; the increased risk with QRSd was steeper for normal versus low EF (HR, 1.18;
95% CI, 1.11–1.27; versus HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01–1.15; for a 10-ms increase); at a QRSd of 200 ms, normal- and
low-EF patients had equivalent risk. HFH risk nearly doubled when VVIR Cum%VP was 80 or DDDR Cum%VP was
40 versus DDDR Cum%VP 40 and was additive with other risk factors.
Conclusions—Differences in HFH risk can be explained by interactions between substrate (atrial fibrillation, **
conduction, heart failure, MI, EF) and pacing promoters (ventricular desynchronization-paced QRSd and Cum%VP, and
** desynchronization-pacing mode). Management of RVA pacing is important for reducing the risk of HFH,
particularly among patients with low EF and heart failure. (Circulation. 2006;113:2082-2088.)
