His bundle pacing versus biventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy: acute hemodynamic and electrophysiological effects
European Heart Journal(2019)
摘要
Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is usually performed with a right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) lead. Previous observational studies showed promising results with His bundle pacing (HBP) in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) by capturing and recruiting the native His-Purkinje system as an alternative to provide ventricular resynchronization. Objective To investigate the effects of HBP as compared to conventional biventricular (BiV) pacing with respect to acute hemodynamic and electrophysiological effects in heart failure patients with LBBB. Methods RV apical and BiV pacing, using the implanted leads, and temporary HBP, using an electrophysiology catheter, was performed in 13 patients (QRS duration 168±16 ms) undergoing CRT implantation. Hemodynamic response (relative to baseline AAI pacing) was assessed as change in LVdP/dtmax. Multi-electrode body-surface mapping, what has been used previously to characterize electrical dyssynchrony in CRT patients, was evaluated using the standard deviation of activation times (SDAT) (figure, right panel). Results HBP resulted in a significant LV dP/dtmax increase, that was comparable to the increase during BiV pacing and significantly larger than RV pacing (figure, left panel). HBP resulted in a more homogenized electrical activation and larger reduction in SDAT than both conventional BiV pacing and RV pacing (figure, middle panel). Conclusions Acute HBP results in hemodynamic improvement and electrical resynchronization that is as good as conventional BiV pacing. These results suggest that HBP may serve as an alternative for conventional BiV pacing in LBBB patients, however prospective studies are needed to prove chronic clinical outcomes.
