Implication

May warrant minimizing unnecessary RV pacing; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of causality.

Key Points

This article reviews the link between ventricular pacing, left bundle branch block (LBBB), and heart failure.
Discussion of existing literature regarding RV pacing and LBBB effects on LV pump function and remodeling.
Assessment of long-term adaptations related to asynchronous electrical activation.
Asynchronous electrical activation is linked to impaired heart function.
Evidence suggests that both RV pacing and LBBB significantly contribute to heart failure development.
