Data were collected at baseline, and then following a 40 bpm increase in heart rate induced by right atrial pacing. Mechanical dyssynchrony in HF patients with normal QRS duration or CLBBB was higher than that found in control subjects. In HF patients with normal QRS duration, mechanical dyssynchrony increased from 37.4\u00b14.8% at baseline to 43.2\u00b14.4% with increased heart rate (p&amp;lt;0.01), the resultant degree of mechanical dyssynchrony was similar to that at baseline in the HF patients with CLBBB.
