The influence of heart rate and pacing mode (ventricular pacing (VVI) versus atrial synchronous pacing (DVI)) on left ventricular volumes, cardiac index (CI) and ejection fraction (EF) was analyzed with M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography, gated single photon emission computerized tomography (GASPECT) and compared to stroke volume indices (SVI) and CI obtained by simultaneous thermodilution measurements.
