Research Article: Feasibility of Permanent His Bundle Pacing in the Elderly vs the Very Elderly. A Single-Center Mid-Term Follow-Up Study
Introduction:
Cardiac pacing is a life-saving procedure performed worldwide as a routine daily practice. For decades, right ventricular pacing (RVP) has been the “gold standard” of myocardial pacing for bradyarrhythmias. Unfortunately, increasing scientific data has shown that conventional RVP is associated with a significant decline in left ventricular function as a result of electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony, a condition termed pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. Most studies on this topic identified the paced QRS duration…
