Patients with interatrial conduction delay may have suboptimal left atrioventricular (AV) timing due to delayed contraction of the left atrium with foreshortening of ventricular filling. This may be an issue in pacemaker patients, especially those requiring resychronization therapy. Pacing from the high interatrial septum (IAS) or the distal or proximal coronary sinus (CSD and CSP) may improve left AV synchrony compared with pacing from the right atrial appendage (RAA). Our aim was to compare haemodynamics of these pacing sites.
