Permanent cardiac pacing is a widely applied procedure in invasive cardiology. The aim of our study was the analysis of the localisation of the tip of the pacemaker lead and its course in the right ventricle. Research was carried out on a group of 12 patients (5F, 7M), from 40 to 93 years of age (average 70±15 yrs) with permanent cardiac pacing or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Subsequent echocardiographic views were applied: an apical four chamber view, a subcostal one and a parasternal right ventricular inflow tract view. At the level of the tricuspid annulus the electrode was positioned: the anterior leaflet – 41.7% (5 pts), the anteroseptal commissure 25% (3 pts), the posterior leaflet 8.3% (1 pt) and the septal one – 8.3% (1 pt). In 16.7% (2 patients) the lead was positioned centrally in the right atrioventricular orifice. Regarding the further positioning of the electrode in the ventricle, in 41.7% (5 pts) the leads were placed along the interventricular septum, in 16.7% (2 pts) along the anterior wall of right ventricle and in 41.7% (5 pts) across the centre of the right ventricle. The tip of the lead was positioned in the apex of the right ventricle in 83.4% (10 pts). In the remaining 16.7% (2 pts) the position was not apical — in 1 patient the anterior wall of the right ventricle and in 1 patient the interventricular septum. In the VVI pacing mode the electrode did not lie on the interventricular septum. In contrast to this in 80% of patients (4 pts) having the DDD pacing mode the lead was situated on the interventricular septum on its course downwards to the ventricle. Conclusions: 1) On the level of the leaflets of the tricuspid valve the lead most often was positioned at the level of the anterior leaflet and the anteroseptal commissure. 2) Most patients had an apical localisation of the tip of the lead. 3) Differences between morphological and echocardiographic studies are related to the intravital and the two-dimensional character of echocardiography, and probably to the small population of the group examined.
The tendon of Todaro, found in the right atrium of the heart, has considerable clinical importance in the fields of both cardiac surgery and invasive cardiology. The goal of this study was to examine the occurrence and degree of development of the tendon of Todaro in humans. Research was conducted on material consisting of 160 human hearts of both sexes from the age of 14 Hbd to 87 years of age. Classical anatomical methods were used and histological sections were prepared from 100 hearts of various age groups stained with Masson’s method in Goldner’s modification. The tendon of Todaro occurred in all examined hearts. In foetal hearts, in the area typical of the course of the tendon of Todaro, a very well-developed, white structure was observed, convexed into the lumen of the atrium. Histologically, this was young fibrous tissue with a characteristically large number of fibroblasts. Evenly in infants and newborns, a visible convex structure was also observed extending into the lumen of the right atrium, however, to a lesser degree than in foetuses. In the group of hearts of young adults, it was also possible to follow the course of the tendon of Todaro macroscopically. However, the older the heart was, the less the convex was visible, and in older adults it was completely invisible. In histological sections, it was observed that with ageing the number of connective tissue cells decreased, and fibres forming the lining increased. In the hearts of older adults the tendon of Todaro formed very small ribbons of connective tissue. Histologically, only small numbers of cellular elements were noticed. In the adult heart the examined tendon was located the deepest and did not connect to the endocardium. We can conclude that the tendon of Todaro is a stable structure, occurring in all examined hearts even when it is not macroscopically visible. Due to the morphological changes that affect the tendon of Todaro in human ontogenesis, for the cardiac surgeon, its relevance as an important topographical structure in the hearts of older adults is minimal.
