Conduction System Pacing: Have We Finally Found the Holy Grail of Physiological Pacing?

Heart Int. 2023 Dec 1;17(2):2-5. doi: 10.17925/HI.2023.17.2.2. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe late fifties are considered a high point in the history of cardiac pacing, since this era is marked by the first pacemaker implantation, which has since evolved into life-saving therapy. Right ventricular apical and biventricular pacing are the classic techniques that are recommended as first-l ine approaches for most indications in current guidelines. However, conduction system pacing has emerged as being able to deliver a more physiological form of pacing and is becoming mainstream practice in a growing number of centres. In this review, we aim to compare traditional pacing methods with conduction system pacing.PMID:38419718 | PMC:PMC10898585 | DOI:10.17925/HI.2023.17.2.2
