Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine using echocardiography whether bi-ventricular pacing improves the contractile force by resynchronizing both ventricles thereby improving andor correcting the paradoxical septal movement

Primary Hypothesis

Bi-ventricular pacing post cardiac surgery will result in at least a 10 increase in cardiac index CI as compared with standard atrio-right ventricular pacing

Secondary Hypothesis

Bi-ventricular pacing post cardiac surgery will result in at least a 10 increase in cardiac index CI as compared with atrio-left ventricular pacing and right atrium pacing
Detailed Description: Clinical trials done to date have focused on the efficacy of biventricular pacing BVP in the treatment of patients with congestive heart failure Intraventricular conduction delay dilated cardiomyopathies and post cardiac surgery However studies done in post cardiac surgery patients are limited by their small sample size 4-22 patients with overall of 51 patients non-randomized pacing protocol and by their inability to determine a definitive mechanism for the improved hemodynamics observed with BVP Therefore we propose to complete a pilot study aimed at determining both the magnitude of the hemodynamic benefit associated with BVP if any In addition we will investigate changes in intra-ventricular septal motion as a possible mechanism for the previously observed changes in cardiac hemodynamics
