Key result
Conduction system pacing offers a viable alternative to biventricular pacing for CRT in heart failure.
Why the study?
There is an emerging role for conduction system pacing to achieve cardiac resynchronisation in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and inter-ventricular dyssynchrony.
Does conduction system pacing improve cardiac resynchronisation in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and inter-ventricular dyssynchrony?
Does conduction system pacing improve cardiac resynchronisation in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and inter-ventricular dyssynchrony?
Conduction system pacing, including His bundle and left bundle branch pacing, is an emerging strategy for achieving cardiac resynchronisation in HFrEF patients with dyssynchrony.
May be considered when biventricular pacing fails; leaves open need for randomized trials before routine adoption.
Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a technique of pacing that involves implantation of permanent pacing leads along different sites of the cardiac conduction system and includes His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing. There is an emerging role for CSP to achieve cardiac resynchronisation in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and inter-ventricular dyssynchrony. In this article, the authors review these strategies for resynchronisation and the available data on the use of CSP in overcoming dyssynchrony.

Sharma et al. (2021) conducted a review in Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and ventricular dyssynchrony. Conduction system pacing (His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing) vs. Traditional biventricular pacing (BVP-CRT) was evaluated. Conduction system pacing, including His bundle and left bundle branch pacing, serves as a viable alternative to biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization in patients with heart failure.
