Abstract excerpt
Right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing can lead to progressive left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure (HF), even in patients with normal cardiac structure and function. Our study conducted candidate gene screening and lentivirus transfected neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) to explore the genetic and pathogenic mechanisms of RVA pacing induced cardiomyopathy in third degree atrioventricular block (III...
