LBBAP = left bundle branch area pacing; LVSP = left ventricular septal pacing; LBBP = left bundle branch pacing; LBBB = left bundle branch block; RV = right ventricle; aLBBAP = LBBAP with anodal stimulation.

Comparative analysis of survival free from lead complications requiring lead-related surgical intervention for Tendril 2088 vs competitive manufacturer leads at the device-level.

Obesity is associated with reduced catheter ablation-induced scar formation on late-gadolinium enhancement MRI.

Infusion and uptake of calcium chloride during pulsed field ablation leads to greater irreversible electroporation and larger myocardial ablation lesions.

Central Illustration. PFA catheter designs have variable targeting and efficiency: two examples.

Extraction of CSP and non-CSP lumenless leads is feasible with a high success rate and a good safety profile. CSP reimplantation after extraction is also feasible with good electrical performance.

This multicenter observational study evaluated the impact of LBBAP on clinical outcomes and improvements in echocardiographic parameters among patients with atrioventricular block and a reduced LVEF of 36%–50%. LBBAP significantly improved LVEF without causing fatal ventricular arrhythmias. LVEF normalization (>50%) was achieved in 64.5% of patients, whereas patients without normalization demonstrated no deterioration in LVEF. Nonischemic cardiomyopathy and pre-existing bundle branch block were independent preoperative predictors of LVEF normalization.
