Atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) is an echocardiographic parameter correlated with the onset of supraventricular arrhythmias in several clinical conditions. Inter-atrial septal pacing in the region of Bachmann's bundle (BB) has been shown to be safe and feasible in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients, with a low rate of sensing and pacing defects. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of temporary BB pacing compared with right atrial appendage (RAA) pacing on AEMD in DM1 patients undergoing pacemaker (PM) implantation for cardiac rhythm abnormalities.

Abstract
Atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) is an echocardiographic parameter correlated with the onset of supraventricular arrhythmias in several clinical conditions. Inter-atrial septal pacing in the region of Bachmann's bundle (BB) has been shown to be safe and feasible in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients, with a low rate of sensing and pacing defects. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of temporary BB pacing compared with right atrial appendage (RAA) pacing on AEMD in DM1 patients undergoing pacemaker (PM) implantation for cardiac rhythm abnormalities.File in questo prodotto:
