Video Summary

In this special episode of The Beat, recorded post-session at the APHRS meeting in Sydney, Australia, hosts Mike Lloyd and Jason Jacobson discuss conduction system pacing updates for 2024 and current controversies with Dr. Ken Ellenbogen and Martin Stiles. Key topics included guidelines on conduction system pacing, differences between stylet-driven and luminous leads, and physiological insights, particularly on left bundle branch block pacing. They explored the challenges in achieving ideal pacing locations versus proximal penetration into the heart's conduction system. Questions from attendees centered on cardiomyopathy cases, the balance of striving for perfection against potential procedural hazards, and concerns about the extraction of implanted leads. This episode emphasized the need for technological advancements and careful consideration of pacing strategies to optimize patient outcomes while managing associated risks.
