In Search of the “True” Left Bundle Branch Block: The art of asking research questions.

Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a promising new approach for delivering pacing therapy.1 The CSP offers an elegant treatment solution to the challenging problem of heart failure (HF) caused by electrical dyssynchrony due to the left bundle branch block (LBBB). Pacing therapy of LBBB-caused electrical dyssynchrony has a long and successful history. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves survival and quality of life and reduces HF hospitalizations in HF patients with LBBB.1 Striving to improve patient outcomes, the field opened the quest for the “true” LBBB.
