Atrioventricular sequential pacing involves stimulation from electrodes in the right atrium, generally the atrial appendage (RAA) and the right ventricular apex. The appendage, however, may be unsuitable if a stable position cannot be achieved. The aim of this study was to assess the haemodynamic consequences of different atrial stimulation sites during DDD pacing.
