The utility of pocket-sized echocardiography to assess left ventricular systolic function prior to permanent pacemaker implantation

BACKGROUND: A subset of patients receiving first-time permanent pacemakers (PPM) may also benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) based on the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Routine screening using pocket-sized echocardiography (PSE) may be useful in i...
