Objective: To evaluate systematically the feasibility and effectiveness of His Bundle Pacing (HBP) for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMbase, WOS, Cochrane Library, Medline, and SinoMed for studies published between December 2003 and December 2023. Primary clinical outcomes included implantation success, QRS wave duration, pacing threshold, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function class, and complications.

Background: Accurate prediction for survival in individualized patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) is difficult.
Methods: We analyzed the New Japan cardiac device treatment registry (JCDTR) database to develop a survival prediction model for CRT-D recipients.
Results: Four hundred and eighty-two CRT-D recipients, at the implantation year 2018-2021, with a QRS width ≥120 ms and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35% at baseline, were analyzed.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. Advances in catheter and surgical techniques led to the majority of these patients surviving into adulthood, leading to evolving challenges due to the emergence of long-term complications such as arrhythmias. Interventional electrophysiology (EP) has had remarkable advances over the last few decades, and various techniques and devices have been explored to treat adult patients with CHD.

Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) can effectively enhance cardiac contraction by engaging the conduction system. LBBAP, compared with right ventricular apex pacing, can reduce QRS duration and enhance left ventricular function. Consequently, LBBAP has been proposed as a viable alternative to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

This paper reviews the literature on assessing electrical dyssynchrony for patient selection in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The guideline-recommended electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for CRT are QRS duration and morphology, established through inclusion criteria in large CRT trials. However, both QRS duration and LBBB morphology have their shortcomings.
