Right bundle branch pacing: Criteria, characteristics, and outcomes
Authors' conclusion
RBBP has distinct features that separate it from HBP and is observed in approximately a fifth of patients in whom HBP is intended.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with confirmed right conduction system pacing targeted for His bundle pacing (HBP)
- Participants
- 326 patients
- Exposure
- Right bundle branch pacing (RBBP) vs HBP
- RBBPn = 64
- Outcome
- RBBP prevalence among patients targeted for HBP
