Why the study?
Right atrial appendage pacing prolongs P wave duration and can induce interatrial and left-sided atrio-ventricular dyssynchrony, whereas Bachmann's bundle pacing may avoid these electromechanical dysfunctions.
Does Bachmann's bundle pacing improve cardiac function and reduce electromechanical dysfunction compared to conventional right atrial appendage pacing?

May support physiological atrial pacing in select cases; leaves open outcome benefits versus conventional sites.
Does Bachmann's bundle pacing improve cardiac function and reduce electromechanical dysfunction compared to conventional right atrial appendage pacing?
Bachmann's bundle pacing is highlighted as a promising alternative to conventional right atrial appendage pacing to preserve electromechanical synchrony and potentially reduce atrial fibrillation and heart failure risks.
Cronin et al. (2023) conducted a review in Atrial conduction disturbances. Bachmann's bundle pacing vs. Right atrial appendage (RAA) pacing was evaluated. Bachmann's bundle pacing closely reproduces normal physiology and has the potential to avoid electromechanical dysfunction associated with conventional right atrial appendage pacing.
