Biventricular pacing (BVP) can improve haemodynamics in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and left bundle branch block by reducing interventricular delay (IVD). Since in DCM interatrial delay (IAD) and IVD frequently coexist, the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that IVD reduction associated with IAD produces an imbalance between the programmed right atrioventricular (AV) delay and the effective AV delay on the left, and that interatrial septum pacing (IASP) combined with BVP overcomes this adverse effect.
