CONGRESS ABSTRACT

Introduction Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) can involve significant radiological exposure. Electroanatomic mapping with CARTO 3 system (Biosense Webster©) has proven useful for pacemaker implantation without fluoroscopy. Clinical Case A 65-year-old patient with chronic ischemic heart disease, following percutaneous myocardial revascularization. admitted for syncope without prodromes. He previously…

Background: His bundle pacing (HBP) is considered the most physiological method for cardiac pacing. In heart failure patients with narrow QRS, we noted varying clinical effects depending on HBP output (HIPPOS study ongoing). Here, we report two cases demonstrating how different conduction velocities correspond to different intensities of HBP…

Background: Subclavian vein stenosis or occlusion represents a significant challenge during transvenous cardiac device implantation, potentially compromising lead placement and increasing procedural risk. In cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) therapy, it is common to implant the device with a concomitant contralateral pacemaker or defibrillator, thus involving both the right and…

Background. In patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), subsequent pacemaker (PM) implantation has been associated with worsening ventricular function and higher heart failure hospitalization rates. Evidence remains scarce about the long-term effects of single lead atrioventricular sequential (VDD) pacing on left and right ventricular function as compared to…

From observations of traditional or remote monitoring follow-up, only 2% of 35 patients with CRT-D had episodes of NSVT. In contrast, 25-35 % of patient with single-chamber and/or dual chamber ICDs had episodes of NSVT or ATP interventions or DC shoks for severe arrhythmias. From our follow-up observations on…
