  Acute Effects of Pacing at Different Ventricular Sites on Left Ventricular Rotational Mechanics in a Porcine Model.

  The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of pacing at different ventricular sites on hemodynamics and left ventricular (LV) rotational mechanics using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in a porcine model. ⋯ The present data showed that the LV twist/untwist and cardiac systolic and diastolic function were least affected by RVOT pacing. This finding may be explained by the proximity of this location to the native ventricular conduction system.
