47 Cardiac pacing in first degree AV-block Figure 4. Effect of interventricular desynchronisation on hemodynamic benefits of restoring AV-cou - pling. Simulation data from the protocol where restoration of AV-coupling was achieved with un- changed synchronous ventricular activation (grey) or with biventricular (BiV) pacing (red) or right ventricular (RV) pacing (black). ( A ) Change in stroke volume. ( B ) Pressure volume loops at optimal pump function. ( C ) Mitral valve flow. Abbreviations as in figure 2 . 3
