Background: During non-selective His bundle (HB) pacing, it is clinically important to confirm His bundle capture vs. right ventricular septal (RVS) capture. The present study aimed to validate the hypothesis that during HB capture left ventricular lateral wall activation time, approximated by the V6 R-wave peak time (V6RWPT), will not be longer than the corresponding activation time during native conduction. Methods: Consecutive patients with permanent HB pacing were recruited; cases with abnormal His-ventricle interval or left bundle branch block were excluded. Two corresponding intervals were compared: stimulus-V6RWPT and native HBpotential-V6RWPT. Difference between these two intervals (delta V6RWPT), diagnostic of lack of HB capture, was identified using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: A total of 723 ECGs (219 with native rhythm, 172 with selective HB, 215 with non-selective HB, and 117 with RVS capture) were obtained from 219 patients. The native HB-V6RWPT, non-selective-, and selective-HB paced V6RWPT were nearly equal, while RVS V6RWPT was 32.0 (±9.5) ms longer. The ROC curve analysis indicated delta V6RWPT > 12 ms as diagnostic of lack of HB capture (specificity of 99.1% and sensitivity of 100%). A blinded observer correctly diagnosed 96.7% (321/332) of ECGs using this criterion. Conclusions: We validated a novel criterion for HB capture that is based on the physiological left ventricular activation time as an individualized reference. HB capture can be diagnosed when paced V6RWPT does not exceed the value obtained during native conduction by more than 12 ms, while longer paced V6RWPT indicates RVS capture.

Introduction: The relationship between conduction time of a sinus impulse and a paced impulse from His bundle to peak of left ventricular activation (HVAT) has not been systematically studied. Hypothesis: To perform a comparative analysis of HVAT of sinus and paced impulse in non-selective (NS) His bundle pacing (HBP) and selective (S)-HBP. Furthermore, to determine if pacing voltage and presence of His Purkinje system (HPS) disease affects HVAT. Methods: In 102 consecutive patients a comparative analysis of native HVAT and paced HVAT at higher (5-volt) and lower voltage (1-volt) was done in all patients and in groups subdivided into NS-HBP, S-HBP, with and without HPS disease. Results: Compared to sinus HVAT (105.9 ± 24.0 ms), paced HVAT was shorter at 5-volt (97.2 ± 17.9 ms) ( p<0.01 ) and longer at 1-volt ( p<0.01 ). This voltage effect was significant only in NS-HBP (-15.8 ± 15.7 ms, p<0.01 ) but not in selective-HBP (-6.2± 13.6 ms p=0.16 ). In NS-HBP, decrease in HVAT caused by 5-volt was the same in normal vs diseased HPS (-14.5 ± 12.8 vs-13.2 ±16.3 ms). Conclusions: 1) Compared to sinus HVAT, NS-HBP HVAT is significantly shorter at 5-volt, however, tends to prolong at 1-volt.2) The 1-volt to 5-volt HVAT decrease appears to be similar both normal and diseased NS-HBP thus not related to correction of HPS delay. 3) The voltage related decrease in HVAT is significant in presence of pre-excitation wave seen in NS-HBP and is not significant in S-HBP.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): British Heart Foundation Background: His bundle pacing can be achieved in two ways selective His bundle pacing, where the His bundle is captured alone, and non-selective His bundle pacing, where local myocardium is also captured resulting a pre-excited ECG appearance. We assessed the impact of this ventricular pre-excitation on left and right ventricular dys-synchrony. Methods We recruited patients who displayed both selective and non-selective His bundle pacing. We performed non-invasive epicardial electrical mapping to determine left and right ventricular activation times and patterns. Results In the primary analysis (n = 20, all patients), non-selective His bundle pacing did not prolong LVAT compared to select His bundle pacing by a pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 10ms (LVAT prolongation: -5.5ms, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.6 to -10.4, non-inferiority p &lt; 0.0001). Non-selective His bundle pacing did not prolong right ventricular activation time (4.3ms, 95%CI: -4.0 to 12.8, p = 0.296) but did prolong QRS duration (22.1ms, 95%CI: 11.8 to 32.4, p = 0.0003). In patients with narrow intrinsic QRS (n = 6), non-selective His bundle pacing preserved left ventricular activation time (-2.9ms, 95%CI: -9.7 to 4.0, p = 0.331) but prolonged QRS duration (31.4ms, 95%CI: 22.0 to 40.7, p = 0.0003) and mean right ventricular activation time (16.8ms, 95%CI: -5.3 to 38.9, p = 0.108) compared to selective His bundle pacing. Activation pattern of the left ventricular surface was unchanged between selective and non-selective His bundle pacing. Non-selective His bundle pacing produced early basal right ventricular activation, which was not observed with selective His bundle pacing. Conclusions Compared to selective His bundle pacing, local myocardial capture during non-selective His bundle pacing produces right ventricular pre-excitation resulting in prolongation of QRS duration. However, non-selective His bundle pacing preserves the left ventricular activation time and pattern of selective His bundle pacing. When choosing between selective and non-selective His bundle pacing, left ventricular dyssynchrony is not an important factor. Abstract Figure: Selective vs Non-Selective HBP

Abstract Background Although his bundle pacing (HBP) can achieve physiological electrical activation of the ventricles, its clinical use is limited by lower success rates, high and unstable pacing thresholds and loss of capture. Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) has been proved to be able to correct Left bundle branch block (LBBB) and generate a narrower QRS duration than conventional RV pacing. However, its effects on ventricular synchronism and contraction function remains unknown. The current study is aimed to compare the echocardiographic characteristics between HBP and LBBP, and to explore whether LBBP leads to a comparable cardiac synchrony and deformation in comparison with HBP. Methods Forty-six pacing-indicated patients were prospectively enrolled. Twenty-nine patients underwent LBBP (17 male patients, mean age 69.6±13.7yrs, the LBBP group) and 17 patients underwent HBP (13 male patients, mean age 70.4±14.7yrs, the HBP group). LBBP was achieved by trans-septal method in the basal ventricular septum. Left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) were obtained. Strains and time to peak strains of right ventricular free wall and 16 left ventricle segments were analyzed using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE). The standard deviation of time to peak strains of 16 left ventricular segments was calculated as PSD. Results Compared to the baseline, time to peak longitudinal strain (TTPS) of apical septum, apical lateral wall were shortened after 6 months of HBP, while they didn't change significantly after 6 months of LBBP. After pacemaker implantation, the LBBP group had a delayed TTPS of apical septum, apical lateral wall and basal RV free wall than the HBP group (LBBP vs. HBP: apical septum,358.44±61.98ms vs. 296.43±29.47ms; apical lateral wall, 373.11±55.80ms vs. 299.00±83.45ms; basal RV free wall, 404.31±72.93ms vs. 334.50±39.95ms, all p<0.05).However, PSD was comparable between the two groups (p>0.05). Compared to the baseline, global left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and longitudinal strain of RV free wall (RVLS) were deteriorated after 6 months of HBP, while they were preserved in the LBBP group. After 6-month pacing, LVGLS and RVLS were significantly stronger in the LBBP group than those in the HBP group. (LVGLS, −16.10±3.75% vs. −13.18±4.11%; RVLS, −17.50±5.46% vs. −13.70±4.35%, both p<0.05). Conclusion Patients received LBBP had a comparable left ventricular synchronism and a better myocardial contraction compared to patients with HBP. LBBP may be a promising alternative pacing strategy. Two-dimensional STE is more sensitive than conventional echocardiography in assessing cardiac synchrony and segmental deformation.
