Bridging the future of cardiac stimulation: physiologic or leadless pacing?
Key result
Conduction system and leadless pacing emerge as physiological, complication-minimizing alternatives to conventional RVP.
Why the study?
Customary pacing leaves residual cardiac dyssynchrony, while leadless stimulation aims to prevent surgical and lead complications, requiring careful clinical evaluation to guide patient-tailored therapy.

Intervention / Comparator
Conduction system pacing (HBP, LBBAP) and leadless pacing vs Conventional right ventricular pacing
Highlights the evolving landscape of cardiac pacing, emphasizing the shift towards physiologic pacing to correct mechanical inefficiency and leadless stimulation to reduce complications.
Limitations
- Lack of large randomized controlled trials with long-term clinical outcomes
- Technical challenges and potential for lead revisions in conduction system pacing
- Uncertainty regarding long-term battery life and retrievability of leadless pacemakers

Piemontese et al. (2022) conducted a review in Conduction system disease and heart failure. Conduction system pacing (HBP, LBBAP) and leadless pacing vs. Conventional right ventricular pacing was evaluated. Conduction system pacing and leadless pacing are emerging as physiological and complication-minimizing alternatives to conventional right ventricular pacing.
