Changes in regional left ventricular (LV) performance induced by ventricular pacing were studied in 2 groups of open-chest anesthetized dogs. In the 1st group of 5 dogs, local function at the LV anterior base, anterior apex and posterior apex was assessed by ultrasonic crystal pairs with atrial, right ventricular, LV apical and LV base pacing. Ventricular pacing produced asynchrony of contraction and marked changes in the shortening pattern at each site, as well as an average 27% reduction in peak systolic pressure and peak dP/dt [1st derivative LV pressure] compared to atrial pacing. The extent of shortening during LV ejection was reduced or unchanged at all sites measured during ventricular pacing. In the 2nd group of 5 dogs, function of the septum and opposing LV lateral wall was studied with atrial and LV lateral wall pacing. Lateral function was assessed with a crystal pair and septal function by cineradiography of a Pb bead implanted in the septum. Ventricular pacing produced reciprocal interaction between the 2 walls, with early lateral shortening inducing septal bulging and late septal shortening inducing lateral wall systolic lengthening. Ventricular pacing produces significant changes in regional myocardial function, likely induced by reciprocal interaction of opposing myocardial regions. Such interaction appears deleterious to global ventricular function, presumably because volume is sequestered and pressure is dissipated into relatively inactive segments that are out of phase with the bulk of contracting myocardium.
