Mid-term performance of His bundle pacing and usefulness of backup leads
- Observational cohort study
Authors' conclusion
Thus, implantation of ventricular backup leads may avoid lead revision and adverse events in selected HBP patients.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with His bundle pacing (HBP)
- Participants
- 184 patients
- Exposure
- Backup lead vs no backup lead in HBP
- No backup leadn = 36reference
- Backup leadn = 148
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
HBP lead revision
P = 0.008
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
His bundle capture retained at programmed output · last follow-up
- Patients retaining His bundle capture at programmed output
- 147 (79.9%)
