Περίληψη:
His bundle pacing (HBP) is proven to be a safe and effective alternative pacing modality that, in addition, avoids pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) by achieving a “physiological” ventricular stimulation, via the native conduction system. Indications include various causes of bradycardia requiring anti-bradycardic pacing, inadequately controlled atrial fibrillation requiring AV node ablation and established PICM. In addition, HBP may also be used as an alternative therapy for patients with heart failure (HF) and an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Available data show several advantages of HBP with regard to preservation or restoration of intra- and inter-ventricular synchronization; improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction, functional status and quality of life; decrease in atrial fibrillation incidence and improvement in HF hospitalization rates, compared with conventional pacing. Nevertheless, superiority in terms of mortality rates has not been consistently demonstrated, and the long-term efficacy and safety of HBP remain to be proven. In the present manuscript, we review the status of HBP and present our current experience with this novel pacing modality. © 2021 Hellenic Society of Cardiology
