Figure 4 Effect of treatment (EffectivCRT during AF [eCRTAF]) on percent ventricular pacing (% V pacing) (left), % effective CRT pacing (middle), and mean heart rate (right). Light blue bars indicate control (Conducted AF Response [CAFR]). Dark blue bars indicate eCRTAF. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
