CONGRESS ABSTRACT

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) of moderate or greater severity is increasingly recognized as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes. Cardiac device implantation with transvenous leads has been suggested to potentially worsen TR, with reported incidences ranging from 7 to 30%. Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) restores physiological ventricular…

Background : Electrocardiographic diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during cardiac pacing is challenging. The original Sgarbossa criteria, validated for left bundle branch block and right ventricular pacing, have not been evaluated in the newer setting of conduction system pacing (CSP), where the pacing stimulus directly activates the His–Purkinje…

We describe the case of a 62-yo female patient with permanent atrial fibrillation, who underwent aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve replacement with mechanical prostheses (during surgery an epicardial bipolar lead was placed for potential future use). In August 2024 she had a syncope and was admitted to Cardiology Unit…

We present the case of an 85-year-old patient with hypokinetic cardiomyopathy, mitral bioprosthesis, complete LBBB on ECG. The patient underwent biventricular ICD implantation in 2013 with good clinical and echocardiographic response, without hospitalization for 10 years. He presented with an intriguing ECG: sinus rhythm with biventricular stimulation and a…

Background : Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP) has become over the last years a promising pacing strategy by avoiding the desynchronization of the left ventricle. Many data confirm the safety and the clinical performance of this technique in adult patients with indication for pacing. On the contrary, only…
