Description
A Guareschi and co-authors compare, in a 2026 two-centre study, the two main forms of conduction system pacing: left bundle branch pacing and deep septal pacing. Both aim to keep the ventricles contracting together, but they target slightly different anatomy. Real-world comparisons of heart function after each were limited.
The analysis covered 124 heavily paced patients followed for a median of nine months. Bundle branch pacing produced a narrower paced trace and clearly better recovery of pumping strength than deep septal pacing. Stroke volume and cardiac output also ran higher in that group, and mechanical synchrony was tighter. Complication rates matched, leaving deep septal pacing as a dependable fallback when bundle capture fails.
