Congenital and childhood atrioventricular blocks: pathophysiology and contemporary management [PDF]
Atrioventricular block is classified as congeni- tal if diagnosed in utero, at birth, or within the first month of life. The pathophysiological process is believed to be due to immune-mediated injury of the conduction system, which occurs as a result

Conduction system pacing using intracardiac echocardiography guidance - a case report [PDF]
Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a pacing technique involving the implantation of permanent pacing leads at different sites along the cardiac conduction system and includes His bundle pacing (HBP) and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP). Intracardiac

Instability and Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Alternans in Paced Cardiac Tissue [PDF]
We derive an equation that governs the spatiotemporal dynamics of small amplitude alternans in paced cardiac tissue. We show that a pattern-forming linear instability leads to the spontaneous formation of stationary or traveling waves whose nodes divide ...

Left bundle branch area pacing: A promising modality for cardiac resynchronization therapy
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is recognized as the first-line management for patients with heart failure (HF) and conduction disorders. As a conventional mode for delivering CRT, biventricular pacing (BVP) improves cardiac function and reduces ...

Recruitment of the cardiac conduction system for optimal resynchronization therapy in failing heart
Heart failure (HF) is a leading health burden around the world. Although pharmacological development has dramatically advanced medication therapy in the field, hemodynamic disorders or mechanical desynchrony deteriorated by intra or interventricular ...

Why pacing of conduction system?
Cardiac pacing since the 50th of the last century is the standard of care for patients with bradycardia. The aims of this therapy have changed over the decades from a life-saving option to achieve the most physiologic “prosthesis” of the conduction system in patients with atrioventricular blocks and improve depolarization sequence in those with heart ...

His Bundle pacing for congenital complete AV block: An attempt to fix a broken heart?
Congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) is usually due to failure of atrioventricular nodal conduction with preservation of the His‐Purkinje system.

How to Implant His Bundle and Left Bundle Pacing Leads: Tips and Pearls
Cardiac pacing is the treatment of choice for the management of patients with bradycardia. Although right ventricular apical pacing is the standard therapy, it is associated with an increased risk of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy and heart failure ...
