Aim: To evaluate ventricular synchronization and function in patients with right bundle-branch block after left bundle-branch-area pacing (LBBAP) by echocardiography.
Methods: Forty patients who successfully received LBBAP were selected and divided into the right bundle-branch block group (RBBB group) and the non-RBBB group by pre-operation ECG. Echocardiography and follow-up were performed 1 month after operation. Interventricular synchronization was evaluated by tissue Doppler (TDI), tissue mitral annular displacement (TMAD), and interventricular mechanical delay. The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC), tricuspid annulus sidewall systolic velocity (TV-s'), left ventricular global ventricular longitudinal strain (GLS), right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (LS-RV), standard deviation of left ventricular 18 segments peak time difference (SDt-L) and standard deviation of right ventricular free wall 3 segments peak time difference (SDt-R) were applied to evaluate intraventricular synchronization and ventricular function.
Results: The difference of displacement peak time of the tricuspid and mitral valves, namely ΔPT measured by TMAD, the difference of systolic time to peak of the tricuspid and mitral valves, namely ΔTs measured by TDI, were statistically different between the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the non-RBBB group, there were no statistically significant differences in the GLS, RVFAC, LS-RV, TAPSE, TV-s', SDt-L, SDt-R (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Echocardiography technology including two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI), TDI, and TMAD can effectively analyze interventricular synchronization, intraventricular synchronization, and ventricular function. Although the movement of the right ventricular myocardium in the RBBB group was slightly later than that of the left ventricular myocardium after LBBAP, LBBAP could still be applied in RBBB patients with pacing indication.

Intermittent or transient right bundle branch block (RBBB) can occur in various clinical situations but is rarely described in acute pulmonary embolism. We present a unique case involving a 57-year-old male who experienced a syncopal episode during transit. He displayed signs of a transient right bundle branch block (RBBB) and S1Q3T3 on the initial EMS ECG, which reverted to normal ECG later.

Background: Deep-learning applications in cardiology typically perform trivial binary classification and are able to discriminate between subjects affected or not affected by a specific cardiac disease. However, this working scenario is very different from the real one, where clinicians are required to recognize the occurrence of one cardiac disease among the several possible ones, performing a multiclass classification. The present work aims to create a new interpretable deep-learning tool able to perform a multiclass classification and, thus, discriminate among several different cardiac diseases.

Purpose Of Review: Cardiac conduction disease, a harbinger of pacemaker implantation, heart failure, and death, is commonly regarded as immutable. However, emerging research suggests it may be a target for upstream prevention strategies such as blood pressure management. This review summarizes recent evidence regarding blood pressure control and the development of conduction disease.

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.
