Abstract

His bundle pacing is a relatively new method of cardiac pacing. This method is used in patients with atrioventricular block to prevent heart failure associated with right ventricular pacing, and in patients with bundle branch block and cardiomyopathy. We report a patient with cardiomyopathy and left bundle branch block with failure of cardiac resynchronization therapy. Permanent His bundle pacing was associated with clinical improvement and improvement of parameters of cardiac function.
