Article Synopsis
  • Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is being examined as a potential alternative to biventricular pacing (BVP) for patients needing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), with a study comparing the two along with left bundle-optimized therapy CRT (LOT-CRT).
  • In the study involving 48 patients, LOT-CRT and BVP showed significantly greater increases in left ventricular pressure and QRS shortening compared to unipolar and bipolar LBBAP, indicating better hemodynamic performance.
  • Results also suggested that patients with interventricular conduction delay had less QRS reduction but similar improvements in left ventricular pressure compared to those with left bundle branch block, and the effectiveness of combining LBBAP with coronary vein

Although transcranial direct current stimulation constitutes a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with promising results in a great variety of applications, its clinical implementation is compromised by the high inter-subject variability reported. This study aims to analyze the inter-subject variability in electric fields (E-fields) over regions of the cortical motor network under two electrode montages: the classical C3Fp2 and an alternative P3F3, which confines more the E-field over this region.Computational models of the head of 98 healthy subjects were developed to simulate the E-field under both montages.

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of acute transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on physical and subjective responses in professional rowing during the 2,000-m time trial test.

Methods: Seven rowers (age 20.86 ± 4.

Background: Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a novel technique that involves pacing the His-Purkinje system instead of the traditional right ventricular (RV) apex. This technique aims to avoid the adverse effects of RV apical pacing, which can lead to ventricular dyssynchrony and heart failure over time. CSP is gaining popularity but its long-term efficacy and challenges remain uncertain.

Left bundle branch pacing with and without anodal capture: impact on ventricular activation pattern and acute haemodynamics.

Aims: Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) can deliver physiological left ventricular activation, but typically at the cost of delayed right ventricular (RV) activation. Right ventricular activation can be advanced through anodal capture, but there is uncertainty regarding the mechanism by which this is achieved, and it is not known whether this produces haemodynamic benefit.

Methods And Results: We recruited patients with LBBP leads in whom anodal capture eliminated the terminal R-wave in lead V1.
