300 * influence of different pacemaker stimulation modes in patients with ventricular hypertrophy

Conclusion: An increase in the heart rate does not lead to a notable drop in stroke volume postoperatively in left-ventricular hypertrophy; hence a rise in cardiac output can be anticipated up to a rate of 100 bpm. A standardised response in terms of an ideal pacemaker stimulation mode could not be identified.
