Left ventricular function may be altered by right ventricular apical pacing. The aims of the study were to compare the long-term course of different parameters of left ventricular dysfunction in patients undergoing implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker with the ventricular lead in a septal position vs. in a standard apical position.
