May support Bachmann's bundle as alternative pacing site; leaves open impact on atrial fibrillation in prospective trials.
Does pacing from Bachmann's bundle reduce total atrial activation time compared to other right atrial sites in patients without structural heart disease?
Pacing from the insertion of Bachmann's bundle causes a shorter total atrial activation time and less interatrial conduction delay compared to other right atrial sites, which may have implications for alternative pacing sites to prevent atrial fibrillation.
Roithinger et al. (2001) studied this question.
