DOI: 10.1002/clc.23058
Abstract: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is highly beneficial in patients with heart failure (HF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB); however, up to 30% of patients in this selected group are nonresponders. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/clc.23992
Abstract: Left bundle branch pacemakers (LBBPs) can better maintain ventricular electrical synchronization than traditional right ventricular pacing (RVP). Temporary cardiac pacing (TCP) is needed to ensure the safety of the operation in patients undergoing LBBP. Currently,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12340
Abstract: Historically, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response in non‐left bundle branch block (non‐LBBB) patients has been suboptimal in comparison with that observed in left bundle branch block patients. The electrical activation pattern of the left ventricle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12580
Abstract: Indications of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do not include exercise‐induced left bundle branch block, but functional impairment could be improved with CRT in such cases. A 57‐year‐old woman with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (ejection fraction 23%)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12731
Abstract: This multicentre observational study aimed to prospectively assess the efficacy of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) in heart failure patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and compare the 6‐month outcomes between LBBAP and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13568
Abstract: AIMS Although increasingly recognized as a distinct pathological entity, left bundle branch block-induced cardiomyopathy (LBBB-ICMP) is not included among the possible aetiologies of acquired dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM). While diagnostic criteria have been proposed, its recognition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.15028
Abstract: The left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a strong predictor of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, a significant number of patients do not respond to the treatment. The study sought to evaluate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12638
Abstract: For patients with symptomatic bradyarrhythmia, cardiac pacing is the only appropriate treatment option. Electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony caused by traditional right ventricular apical pacing leads to left ventricular dysfunction and atrial arrhythmias. Physiological pacing stimulates… read more here.
