Atrioventricular left ventricular apical pacing improves haemodynamic, rotational, and deformation variables in comparison to pacing at the lateral wall in intact myocardium: experimental study.

Conclusions. In pig hearts with intact myocardium, LV function is maintained at sinus rhythm level when AV pacing is performed at the LV apex.
