Introduction: There is a surge of interest in alternate site pacing to prevent pacing-induced left ventricular dysfunction. However, little is known regarding the appropriate atrioventricular (AV) delay between right ventricular (RV) septal and RV apical pacing for optimal hemodynamic benefit.
Objectives: To determine the programmed values of atrial sensed and atrial paced AV delays in basal RV septal and apical RV pacing that results in the maximum delivered stroke volume (SV).
Methods: We calculated the Doppler-derived SV at various sensed and paced AV delays in 50 patients with complete AV block implanted with a dual-chamber pacemaker (group A: 25 RV apical pacing; group B: 25 RV septal pacing). The hemodynamic difference in terms of the SV between sensed and paced AV delay, corresponding to the site of RV pacing was then compared for statistical significance.
Results: In group A, maximal SV was derived at a sensed AV delay of 123.2 ± 11 ms and paced AV delay of 129.2 ± 10 ms, and in group B, at a sensed AV delay of 123.6 ± 8 ms and paced AV delay of and 132.8 ± 7 ms. At these intervals, there was no difference in the SV between septal and apical RV pacing (P = .28 and .22, respectively).
Conclusion: The atrial sensed and atrial paced AV delays for septal and apical RV pacing for optimal hemodynamics are similar. For optimal hemodynamics, the atrial paced AV delay is longer than the atrial sensed AV delay.

Background Ventricular septal pacing has long been performed using a stylet during pacemaker implantation, but with the availability of guiding catheters, His bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing have also been performed. However, it is not known to what extent the tip load of the ventricular lead differs when a guiding catheter is used compared with a stylet alone. In this study, the tip load was measured for different stylet stiffness and guiding catheter geometries at sites where His bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing were assumed.

Complex ventricular tachycardias involving the fascicular system (fascicular ventricular tachycardias [FVTs]) can be challenging. In this review, we describe our approach to the diagnosis and ablation of these arrhythmias with 10 illustrative cases that involve (1) differentiation from supraventricular tachycardia; (2) assessment for atypical bundle branch reentry and other interfascicular FVTs; (3) examination of P1/P2 activation sequences in sinus rhythm, pacing, and tachycardia; and (4) entrainment techniques to establish the tachycardia mechanism and aid circuit localization. To summarize, 5 cases had prior ablation with 2 previously misdiagnosed as supraventricular tachycardia.

Article Synopsis
- Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a secure method for heart pacing, but past studies primarily evaluated left heart function without considering the right heart's impact, prompting this study to investigate various pacing methods on right heart metrics.
- The study involved 90 patients with normal left ventricular function who were split into three groups: LBBAP, right ventricular septal pacing (RVSP), and right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP), examining various right heart indicators and interventricular synchrony.
- Results showed no significant changes in the LBBAP group for several heart function metrics, whereas significant declines were noted in the RVAP group, suggesting varying impacts of different pacing locations on heart function.

Background: In the BUDAPEST (Biventricular Upgrade on left ventricular reverse remodeling and clinical outcomes in patients with left ventricular Dysfunction and intermittent or permanent APical/SepTal right ventricular pacing)-CRT Upgrade randomized trial, the authors have demonstrated improved mortality and morbidity after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) upgrade in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) with high right ventricular (RV) pacing burden.
Objectives: This substudy sought to examine the impact of CRT upgrade on symptoms, functional outcome, and exercise capacity.
Methods: In the BUDAPEST-CRT Upgrade trial, 360 HFrEF patients with pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and ≥20% RV pacing burden were randomly assigned (3:2) to cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) upgrade (n = 215) or ICD (n = 145).

Background: Patients with an indication for a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) are complicated with special cardiomyopathy or other unspecified cardiac abnormalities and may need endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). However, EMB by a bioptome is usually avoided to reduce the risk of lead displacement in the CIED periprocedural period.
Objective: We aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of a novel approach for transvenous right ventricular (RV) EMB using the lead sheath method (L-S-M) during CIED implantation and compared it with the traditional bioptome method (T-B-M).
