Recently published data suggested significantly lower pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) incidence with conduction system pacing (CSP). Because most data evaluated only the impact on the left ventricle, this study aimed to assess changes in echocardiographic parameters of morphology and function for all heart chambers in patients with baseline preserved and mid-range LVEF over a medium-term follow-up period after CSP. A total of 128 consecutive patients with LVEF > 40% and successful CSP for bradyarrhythmic indication were prospectively enrolled.

Background: Minimal change disease (MCD) is a significant cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) in adults, representing approximately 10%-15% of INS cases. The data is scanty on clinicopathological features, treatment responses, and long-term outcomes of MCD in adults.
Aim: To determine the clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment responses, and medium-term outcomes of adult patients with MCD in Pakistan.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the response to therapy and outcome with long-term daily mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and high-dose alternate-day steroids (HADS) in children with dense deposit disease (DDD).
Methods: Children with DDD who received long-term MMF (1200 mg/m/day) and HADS (1.5-2 mg/kg AD) with slow tapering were retrospectively evaluated for their clinico-pathological presentation, response to therapy (complete, partial, no remission) and outcome (patient and renal survival).
