EF has been increased by His bundle pacing, usually when patients have experienced what your doctor calls "pacing induced cardiomyopathy" or heart failure. Google His bundle pacing or see <www.His-pacing.org> to understand why. Summarize it to say, normal physiological beats allow healing.

As explained to me by Dr. "A" at one of our first meetings: "You know, that EP you were seeing who did nothing for four months to treat your NSR 125 heart rate was the prime factor with your developing "TIC." - Tachycardia Induced Cardiomyopathy."

EF and PVC's
by Dave H - 2019-06-04 12:44:16
Only way I can answer this: Back in 2014? 2015?, I was seen by a "Heart Failure Doc" by the name of Dr. "A." Wife asked him, "Are you an EP?" His answer: "No, but I can read an echo better than any of those guys your hubby's been seeing!" BTW: His specialty? - Echocardiography. He performed a PM optimization, and afterward I felt GREAT! As time went on, I've learned "reading" an echo is mostly subjective. Dr. "A" retired mid 2018. Late 2018 these events for me: Treadmill stress test which was a breeze, PM replacement afterward, then a C-Diff infection followed by a diverticulitis event followed by a pnemonia that put me in the hospital for 3 days. A PM optimization performed by a Dr. "H" then was performed and my LVEF was claimed to have risen from the 20% mark to 35%+ mark. However, my stamina and all things related took a beating - I'm not the same. Many more PVC's, low blood pressure i.e: 90/56. So..............what was the cause??????
