LAHRS Content 2023-Physiologic Stimulation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Latin American Society of Cardiac Rhythm and the Colombian College of Electrophysiology held a session discussing physiological stimulation in heart failure management. The session included talks on cardiac resynchronization therapy and left bundle branch pacing. Dr. Jorge Romero highlighted the benefits of left bundle branch pacing in heart failure patients, emphasizing the need for large scale randomized controlled trials. Dr. Fernando Vidal shared a case study where His bundle pacing was used effectively in a patient with heart failure. Dr. Juan Carlos Diaz discussed the potential complications of conduction system stimulation, focusing on issues like phrenic nerve stimulation, dislocation of cables, and tricuspid insufficiency. Strategies to avoid these complications were also highlighted, such as proper technique during implantation. Overall, despite potential risks, conduction system stimulation, particularly left bundle branch pacing, shows promise in improving patient outcomes in heart failure management.
