Abstract

Right ventricular pacing is associated with pacing-induced cardiomyopathy in some patients. His Bundle Pacing (HBP) is an alternative site to pace to achieve ventricular contraction with fewer adverse hemodynamic effects. HBP has been shown to be safe and feasible in the short term. The few studies that look at long-term results of HBP are promising with regard to electrophysiological, echocardiographic, and clinical outcomes. Further randomized clinical trials are needed to fully understand the long-term effects of HBP.
