Why the study?
Conventional right atrial appendage pacing may cause non-physiological activation and dyssynchrony, while the long-term clinical outcomes of Bachmann's bundle pacing remain uncertain.
Does Bachmann's bundle pacing improve physiologic atrial activation and reduce atrial arrhythmias compared to conventional right atrial appendage pacing in patients requiring atrial pacing?

Key result
Bachmann's bundle pacing is a feasible and generally safe physiological pacing strategy that may reduce atrial arrhythmia burden by preserving interatrial conduction, though long-term outcomes remain uncertain.

May support use in select atrial pacing cases; leaves open confirmation of arrhythmia reduction in randomized trials.
Does Bachmann's bundle pacing improve physiologic atrial activation and reduce atrial arrhythmias compared to conventional right atrial appendage pacing in patients requiring atrial pacing?
Bachmann's bundle pacing is a promising physiological atrial pacing strategy that may preserve interatrial conduction and reduce atrial fibrillation risk, but requires larger prospective studies to standardize capture criteria and assess long-term outcomes.
Zhang et al. (2026) conducted a review in Atrial conduction abnormalities and atrial fibrillation. Bachmann's bundle pacing vs. Conventional right atrial appendage pacing was evaluated. Bachmann's bundle pacing is a feasible and generally safe physiological pacing strategy that may reduce atrial arrhythmia burden by preserving interatrial conduction, though long-term outcomes remain uncertain.
