Programmed deep septal stimulation: A novel maneuver for the diagnosis of left bundle branch capture during permanent pacing
Marek Jastrzębski,Paweł Moskal,Agnieszka Bednarek,Agnieszka Bednarek,Grzegorz Kiełbasa,Aleksander Kusiak,Aleksander Kusiak,Tomasz Sondej,Adam Bednarski,Pugazhendhi Vijayaraman,Danuta Czarnecka +10 more
TL;DR: Permanent deep septal stimulation with capture of the left bundle branch (LBB) enables maintenance/restoration of the physiological activation of theleft ventricle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fixation beats: A novel marker for reaching the left bundle branch area during deep septal lead implantation.

TL;DR: In this article, the ectopic beats with qR/rsRʹ morphology in lead V1 (fixation beats) during lead fixation were investigated to predict whether the desired intraseptal lead depth had been reached, whereas the lack of fixation beats would indicate a too shallow position and the need for more lead rotations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac resynchronization therapy-induced acute shortening of QRS duration predicts long-term mortality only in patients with left bundle branch block
Marek Jastrzębski,Adrian Baranchuk,Kamil Fijorek,Roksana Kisiel,Piotr Kukla,Tomasz Sondej,Danuta Czarnecka +6 more
TL;DR: There was a strong relationship between mortality risk and shortening/widening of the QRS, albeit only in the LBBB group, and patients with non-LBBB morphologies had unfavourable prognosis similar to that in L BBB patients without QRS narrowing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality and morbidity in cardiac resynchronization patients: impact of lead position, paced left ventricular QRS morphology and other characteristics on long-term outcome.
TL;DR: Electrocardiographic and fluoroscopic descriptors of the LV lead position were found to be predictors of mortality/morbidity (as were functional class, heart failure aetiology, hyponatremia, and chronic atrial fibrillation) and the antero-apical pattern of LV QRS complexes and apical or paraseptal LV lead positions should be avoided.

Fixation beats – a novel marker for reaching the left bundle branch area during deep septal lead implantation
Marek Jastrzębski,Grzegorz Kiełbasa,Paweł Moskal,Agnieszka Bednarek,Aleksander Kusiak,Tomasz Sondej,Adam Bednarski,Marek Rajzer,Pugazhendhi Vijayaraman +8 more
TL;DR: Monitoring fixation beats during deep septal lead deployment can facilitate the procedure and possibly increase the safety of lead implantation.
