It is well recognized that a high burden of right ventricular pacing results in deleterious clinical outcomes over the long term. His bundle pacing can achieve optimal ventricular synchronization; however, relatively high pacing thresholds, low R-wave amplitudes, and the long-term performance have been concerns. Recently, left ventricular (LV) septal endocardium pacing (LVSP) has demonstrated improved acute haemodynamics. Another novel technique of intraseptal left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) via transvenous approach has been adopted rapidly and has demonstrated its feasibility and effectiveness. This article reviews the clinical application and differences between LVSP and LBBP. Compared with LVSP, LBBP has strict criteria for left conduction system capture and lead location. In addition to LV septal capture it also stimulates the proximal left bundle branch, resulting in rapid and physiological LV activation. With a uniformity and standardization of the implant procedure and definitions, it may be possible to achieve widespread application of this form of physiological pacing.
