ΔLV SF – change of left ventricular shortening fraction

ΔQRS – change of paced QRS duration after pacemaker implantation vs intrinsic

QRS duration before pacemaker implantation

CCHD – patients with complex congenital heart disease

ICAVB – patients with isolated congenital complete or advanced AV block

ISHD – patients with isolated structural heart disease

NS – not significant
