Ragesh Panikkath, MD, also of the Geisinger Heart Institute, presented a feasibility study of LBBB area pacing for patients needing pacing for bradycardia or heart failure but with a failed left ...

These deleterious effects can be significantly ameliorated by cardiac resynchronization therapy effected by biventricular or left ventricular pacing. However, not only is spontaneous LBBB harmful ...

When interviewed, Singh observed that His-bundle pacing may be a promising alternative CRT modality in non-LBBB patients. But he said the underlying myopathy of most such patients may not be ideal ...

of 36-50% but are not expected to require substantial ventricular pacing (20-40%), with or without LBB block (LBBB). It also got a IIb recommendation for heart failure patients with LVEF 36-50% ...

While persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) does not indicate a greater risk of mortality, it is associated with a higher likelihood of ...

No single left ventricular pacing site suits all patients, but a late-activated site, during either the intrinsic LBBB rhythm or right ventricular pacing, should be selected. Positioning the lead ...

There was, however, a higher rate of permanent pacemaker implantation, as well as a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction, among those who developed LBBB. “I would say, yes, it is reassuring ...

Remember that a left bundle branch block and right bundle branch block, by definition, prolong the QRS duration. A biventricular pacemaker is inserted in the same fashion as a standard pacemaker ...

Physiologic pacing refers to atrial-based pacing ... 40 patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy and left bundle-branch block, after 6 months of follow-up, LVEF improvement was significantly ...

“Our nationwide study shows that need for pacemaker implantation remains a major complication after TAVR in patients with a bundle branch block,” Salman Zahid, MD, a resident physician at ...

He is referred to a cardiologist, who recommends implantation of a biventricular pacemaker. Patients with heart failure who have left bundle-branch block have a poorer prognosis than those without ...
