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 delay is intraHisian, thus further validating the theory of “longitudinal dissociation in the HB.”
