Conduction latency in left bundle branch pacing in heart failure patient

Since the introduction of the concept of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), extensive research has been done to define parameters for successful capture of conduction system [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. Soon after, a novel technique was used to achieve cardiac resynchronization in patients with heart failure and unfavorable coronary veins anatomy [5,6]. At the beginning of 2023, a consensus statement endorsed by several heart rhythm societies has been published in order to unify the implantation technique and the criteria for confirmation of conduction system pacing (CSP) [7]. However, most of the proposed electrocardiographic criteria pertain to patients with preserved left ventricular contractility and narrow QRS, and may not necessarily be suitable for patients with heart failure.

We present a case of cardiac resynchronization using left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) in a patient with heart failure and ischemic heart disease in whom electrocardiographic confirmation of CSP was hampered by an extremely long conduction latency.
