More than 1 million permanent pacemakers are implanted worldwide each year, half of which are in patients with high-grade atrioventricular block. Pacemakers provide adequate frequency support in the initial stage, but traditional right ventricular (RV) pacing may lead to or aggravate left ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmia. Several potential risk factors for heart failure and arrhythmias after pacemaker surgery have been identified, but their occurrence remains difficult to predict clinically.

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: Conduction system pacing (CSP) has been reported to improve clinical outcomes in comparison of right ventricular pacing (RVP). However, the performance between CSP and RVP on the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) remains elusive.
Methods: Four online databases were systematically searched up to July 1, 2024.

Background: Junctional rhythm (JR) frequently occurs during radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures targeting the slow pathway (SP) for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), signaling successful ablation. Two types of JR have been noticed: typical JR as His activation preceding atrial activation, and atypical JR as atrial activation preceding the His activation. Nevertheless, the origin and characteristics of JR remain incompletely defined.
