Left bundle branch pacing in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-a novel approach.
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Symptomatic bradycardia attributed by sick sinus syndrome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is not commonly seen. Dual chamber pacing with right ventricular apical lead placement is conventional strategy in such scenario. Now physiological pacing which includes left bundle branch (LBB) pacing emerging as new technology for pacemaker implantation. Use of this technique is difficult in HCM due to septal hypertrophy. There is no such case reported so far in the literature where LBB pacing was performed in adult HCM for sick sinus syndrome. Here we present a novel approach of treating irreversible, symptomatic sinus node dysfunction in non-obstructive HCM with implementation of left bundle pacing strategy. Pacing parameters remain stable after 3 months of follow-up.
