Lead Performance And Clinical Outcomes Of Patients With Permanent His-Purkinje System Pacing: A Single-Centre Experience
EUROPACE(2020)
摘要
Aims His-Purkinje system (HPS) pacing, including His bundle (HB) and left bundle branch (LBB) pacing, has emerged as a highlighted topic in recent years. Comparisons in lead performance and clinical outcomes between HB and LBB pacing were seldom reported. We aimed to investigate the mid-long-term lead performance and clinical outcomes of permanent HPS pacing patients in our centre.Methods and results Permanent HB pacing was implemented by placing the pacing lead helix at the HB area. Left bundle branch pacing was achieved by placing the lead helix in the left-side sub-endocardium of the interventricular septum. Pacing parameters, 12-lead ECG, echocardiography, and clinical outcomes were evaluated during follow-up. A total of 64 patients with HB pacing and 185 with LBB pacing were included. Left bundle branch pacing exhibited a slightly longer paced QRS duration than HB pacing (117.7 +/- 11.0 vs. 113.7 +/- 19.8 ms, P = 0.04). Immediate post-operation, LBB pacing had a significant higher R-wave amplitude (16.5 +/- 7.5 vs. 4.3 +/- 3.6 mV, P < 0.001) and lower capture threshold (0.5 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.8 V, P < 0.001) compared with HB pacing. During follow-up, an increase in capture threshold of >1.0 V from baseline was found in eight (12.5%) patients in the HB pacing group and none in LBB pacing. Paced QRS morphology changed from Qr to QS in lead V1 in seven patients (3.8%) with LBB pacing. Both HB and LBB pacing preserved cardiac function in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) over 50%. In patients with LVEF <50%, both HB and LBB pacing improved clinical outcomes during follow-up.Conclusion His-Purkinje system pacing produced favourable electrical synchrony and improved cardiac function in patients with heart failure. Left bundle branch pacing showed superior pacing parameters over HB pacing. Lead micro-displacement with changes in paced QRS morphology posts a concern in LBB pacing.
