Why the study?
Left bundle branch area pacing has emerged as a physiological pacing strategy, but its usefulness in reducing mechanical dyssynchrony compared with right ventricular septal pacing needed investigation.
Does left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) reduce mechanical dyssynchrony compared to right ventricular septal pacing (RVSP) in patients undergoing pacemaker implantation?
Population
39 LBBAP patients, 42 RVSP patients, and 93 healthy control participants
Comparison
LBBAP vs RVSP vs healthy controls
Design
Retrospective study
Key result
Left bundle branch area pacing reduced mechanical dyssynchrony compared with right ventricular septal pacing, showing lower bandwidth (74° vs 102°, p=0.009) and phase standard deviation.

LBBAP was associated with less acute dyssynchrony than RVSP; hypothesis-generating for physiological pacing benefits, pending RCTs.

Does left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) reduce mechanical dyssynchrony compared to right ventricular septal pacing (RVSP) in patients undergoing pacemaker implantation?
LBBAP reduces mechanical dyssynchrony and achieves more physiological ventricular activation compared to RVSP in the acute phase of pacemaker implantation.
Miyajima et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Pacemaker implantation (n=174). Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) vs. Right ventricular septal pacing (RVSP) was evaluated on Mechanical dyssynchrony assessed by phase analysis (bandwidth, phase standard deviation, entropy) and regional wall motion analysis. Left bundle branch area pacing reduced mechanical dyssynchrony compared with right ventricular septal pacing, showing lower bandwidth (74° vs 102°, p=0.009) and phase standard deviation.
