Prominent differences in left ventricular performance and myocardial properties between right ventricular and left ventricular-based pacing modes in rats

Abstract Biventricular pacing is an important modality to improve left ventricular (LV) synchronization and long-term function. However, the biological effects of this treatment are far from being elucidated and existing animal models are limited and demanding. Recently, we introduced an implanted d...
