Normalization of bundle branch block patterns by distal His bundle pacing. Clinical and experimental evidence of longitudinal dissociation in the pathologic his bundle.

Normalization of bundle branch block patterns by distal His bundle pacing. Clinical and experimental evidence of longitudinal dissociation in the pathologic his bundle.

Clinical and experimental observations in which bundle branch block patterns (BBBP) in ECG leads were normalized by distal His bundle (H) pacing are reported. The clinical material includes four patients with acute right BBBP secondary to anterior wall myocardial infarction and three patients with chronic left BBBP. Six of the seven patients had a prolonged H-V interval (60-85 msec) including t...

Longitudinal dissociation in the His bundle. Bundle branch block due to asynchronous conduction within the His bundle in man.

His Bundle electrogram in bundle-branch block.

SUMMARY Because a great majority of patients with chronic complete heart block have bilateral bundle-branch lesions, it becomes important to recognize earlier degrees of bilateral bundle-branch block. The H-V interval in the His bundle electrogram during unilateral bundle-branch block reflects the conduction primarily through the contralateral bundle branch, and thus the His bundle electrogram ...

Overcoming left bundle branch block by permanent His bundle pacing: Evidence of longitudinal dissociation in the His via recordings from a permanent pacing lead

Introduction Narrowing of the QRS and overcoming left bundle branch block (LBBB) with His bundle pacing (HBP) has been previously described. We present the first 2 reported cases of left bundle branch (LBB) delay with evidence of a split His electrogram during unipolar mapping from the tip of the His bundle (HB) lead during pacemaker implantation. These findings suggest that the site of LBB del...

Acute His Bundle Injury during Permanent His Bundle Pacing: Mechanistic Insights into Intra- Hisian Block

Permanent His bundle pacing (HBP) is a physiological alternative to right ventricular pacing. Acute injury to the His bundle can occur during permanent HBP in the form of transient or permanent bundle branch blocks. Observations of mechanical injury to the His bundle during HBP lead fixation and electrophysiological response to HBP provides additional mechanistic insights into the pathology of ...
