Right ventricular (RV) pacing can impair left ventricular (LV) function. When timed with native RV activation, LV‐only pacing may cause greater improvements in LV function than biventricular pacing. This study compared the chronic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on LV mechanics between biventricular pacing and LV‐only pacing in patients with normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction.
