We present the case of a 75-year-old man, suffering from hypertension, mellitus diabetes type 2, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, carotid atheromasia, and previous ischemic stroke. In 2012, a dual chamber pacemaker was implanted due to advanced AV block and in 2018 the patient was treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary
Introduction: Histological studies reported that the His bundle (HB) is partitioned into narrow cords by collagen running in its long axis, providing the anatomical setting necessary for its longitudinal dissociation. Further confirmations came from the demonstration that direct HB pacing normalizes the QRS axis and duration in subjects with proximal HB lesions causing bundle branch block. However, there is no evidence of the possibility of selective HB partitions pacing destined to the composition of branches and fascicles.
Methods and Results: We describe a case of intra‐Hisian left bundle branch block in which permanent distal HB pacing corrects left ventricular delay and produces different QRS morphology at different voltage outputs, as an expression of different selective HB compartments recruitment.
Conclusion: This case would strengthen the limited data in the literature about HB longitudinal dissociation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
