His Bundle Pacing 360 Degrees-Indications for His Bundle Pacing - Who and When? (Presenter: Olujimi A. Ajijola, MD, PhD)

Indications for His Bundle Pacing - Who and When? (Presenter: Olujimi A. Ajijola, MD, PhD)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Olojima Adjijola talked about indications for his bundle pacing, specifically for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), heart block and AV node ablation, and pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. He highlighted studies that showed QRS narrowing and improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with his bundle pacing. He mentioned the work of Dr. Ben Sherlag, who initially described his bundle pacing, and studies by Barbara Pichardo, Dr. Lustgarten, and his own group that supported the use of his bundle pacing for CRT. He also discussed the physiological mechanisms behind QRS narrowing and the feasibility of his bundle pacing in patients with right bundle branch block and complete AV block.
