Cardiac resynchronization using fusion pacing during exercise.

Green PG., Monteiro C., Holdsworth DA., Betts TR., Herring N.

INTRODUCTION: Fusion pacing requires correct timing of left ventricular pacing to right ventricular activation, although it is unclear whether this is maintained when atrioventricular (AV) conduction changes during exercise. We used cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to compare cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using fusion pacing or fixed AV delays (AVD). METHODS: Patients 6 months post-CRT implant with PR intervals
