Implant success rate and change in LVEFsurrogate
Permanent His-bundle pacing demonstrates an 84.8% average implant success rate and is associated with improved LVEF, though standardized reporting in future trials is needed.
Abstract
Among 26 articles of permanent HBP, the implant success rate averaged 84.8% and LVEF improved by an average of 5.9% during follow-up. Specific reporting of our clinical outcomes of interest varied widely, highlighting the need for uniform reporting in future HBP trials.
