Abstract Background This case report presents a patient diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome who was successfully treated with permanent His-bundle pacing (PHBP). Case presentation A 36-year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to recurrent syncope. He was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome based on the 24-h Holter and a history of syncope. He was admitted to hospital and successfully treated with PHBP. The postoperative examination showed that the pacing rhythm, pacemaker pacing and perception function were normal. He was discharged without any complications after a successful pacemaker implantation. Conclusions We described a case in which PHBP may become an optimal approach to the management of patients with sick sinus syndrome. Right ventricular pacing has been attempted with inconsistent efficacy outcomes. HBP provides a promising alternative pacing option that might provide symptom resolution to patients with sick sinus syndrome.

Abnormal electrical activation of the ventricles creates abnormalities in cardiac mechanics. Local contraction patterns, as reflected by strain, are not only out of phase, but also show opposing length changes in early and late activated regions. Consequently, the efficiency of cardiac pump function (the amount of stroke work generated by a unit of oxygen consumed), is approximately 30% lower in dyssynchronous than in synchronous hearts. Maintaining good cardiac efficiency appears important for long-term outcomes. Biventricular, left ventricular septal, His bundle and left bundle branch pacing may minimise the amount of pacing-induced dyssynchrony and efficiency loss when compared to conventional right ventricular pacing. An extensive animal study indicates maintenance of mechanical synchrony and efficiency during left ventricular septal pacing and data from a few clinical studies support the idea that this is also the case for left bundle branch pacing and His bundle pacing. This review discusses electro-mechanics and mechano-energetics under the various paced conditions and provides suggestions for future research.

Abstract Aims Permanent His bundle pacing (HBP) is a more physiological technique for cardiac stimulation and has recently emerged as an alternative for anti-bradycardia pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Its main advantages over ‘classical’ pacing are both its protective role over pacing-induced cardiomyopathy and the possibility of resynchronization by normalization of His-Purkinje activation. To evaluate the intermediate-term outcomes of HBP in terms of safety, performance, and clinical outcomes. Methods and results Between December 2018 and July 2020, we enrolled a series of consecutive patients with indication for pacing in whom HBP was attempted. A specific lead (3830 Select Secure MRI SureScan) and sheath (C315His) was used. At follow-up clinical, safety and performance outcomes were evaluated. A significant rise in HBP pacing threshold was defined as an increase of at least 1 V@1ms in the minimum voltage that could produce an effective myocardial depolarization. Remote or in-hospital device interrogation was performed by an experienced electrophysiologist. HBP was attempted in 99 patients and all implantations were performed by the same two operators. Eighty-two procedures were successful (83%). The main reasons for HBP failure were high pacing-thresholds (n = 8, 47%), infra-Hisian block (n = 5, 29,4%), difficult HB location (n = 3, 17,6%), unsatisfactory sensing (n = 1, 5,9%), or lead instability (n = 1, 5,9%). During a mean follow-up of 9.5 ± 5.9 months, the overall technical and clinical complication rates were 39% and 13.3%, respectively. Three (3.6%) patients underwent His lead extraction and subsequent conventional right ventricular septum (RV) lead implantation because of lead dislodgement (n = 2) or rise in pacing threshold (n = 1), while two (2.4%) patients required His lead repositioning because of lead dislodgement (n = 1) and phrenic nerve stimulation (n = 1). Nineteen patients (23.2%) experienced a significant rise in Hisian pacing threshold and 1 of these patients also had poor sensing parameters. Oversensing was noted in 8 (9.7%) patients and in 7 of them (87.5%) it was due to both atrioventricular and ventriculoatrial crosstalk events. As regards clinical outcomes, seven patients (8.5%) were diagnosed with new onset atrial fibrillation (AF), one of them complicated by stroke. Three patients (3.6%) were hospitalized for acute heart failure, one of them after His lead dislodgement. Finally, five patients (6.1%) died during follow-up, but no death was related to cardiovascular events. Conclusions HBP is an effective technique to obtain a more physiological cardiac pacing, but it is limited by a moderate rate of procedural failure and follow-up complications, mainly rising in pacing threshold and oversensing events. This is probably due to suboptimal implantation tools and lack of specific programming algorithms. New dedicated tools, increased experience, knowledge of device limitations, and optimal programming are needed to improve future outcomes.
