Abstract
LV flow pattern analysis by echocardiographic particle image velocimetry reveals that conduction delay due to LBBB or pacemaker stimulation in the right ventricle (DDD) disturbs the transfer of kinetic energy during the cardiac cycle and causes less efficient LV function. These data contribute to a better understanding of hemodynamic consequences of conduction delays and may help in the optimization of therapeutic approaches.
