Abdelrahman et  al (J Am Coll Cardiol March 5, 2018;Epub ahead of print, PMID 29535066) evaluated the clinical outcomes of His bundle pacing (HBP) compared to right ventricular pacing (RVP). All patients requiring initial pacemaker implantation over a 3-year period were included in the study. Permanent HBP was at tempted in consecutive patients at one hospital and RVP at an affiliated hospital. The primary outcome was the combined end point of death, heart failure hospitalization (HFH), or upgrade to a biventricular pacemaker (BiVP).
