Left ventricular dyssynchrony in pre-excitation syndrome: effect of accessory pathway location and reversibility after ablation therapy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We sought to evaluate the effects and reversibility of different locations of accessory pathways (AP) on left ventricular dyssynchrony (LVdys). The acute and chronic effects of AP were evaluated in a canine model (n = 11) and in patients with pre-excitation syndrome (n = 25). Pre-excitation was simulated in the canine model by applying VDD-type epicardial ventricular pacing near the atrioventricular (AV) groove with 50-ms AV interval after median thoracotomy, at five different sites in each animal. For the simulation of pre-excitation through the septal accessory pathway, right basal septal pacing was performed using a transvenous lead. Left ventricular dyssynchrony was measured by a two-dimensional speckle-tracking technique: before and during pacing in the canine model, and before and within 24 h after the ablation in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. In the canine model, the most prominent intraventricular LVdys was observed in left lateral pre-excitation (P < 0.001). In patients with pre-excitation syndrome, LVdys was greatest in patients with left free wall accessory pathways before the ablation (P = 0.013). After catheter ablation, such a difference diminished (P = 0.619). The degree of LVdys was different according to the site of AP in both the acute model and chronic patients, and the most significant LVdys associated with pre-excitation was observed in left lateral AP. Left ventricular dyssynchrony was reversible in patients with WPW syndrome. Left ventricular dyssynchrony observed in patients with pre-excitation syndrome might be a different entity from that observed in patients with heart failure.
