How to locate the site for LBBP and electrogram characteristics. (A) A photographic representation of LBBP. (B) Location of the HBP lead and LBBP leads in the right anterior oblique 30° view. (C) Paced morphology of “W” pattern with a notch at the nadir of the QRS in lead V1 and impedance of 300 Ω by unipolar tip pacing before fixation (left). Screwing the lead ~6–8 mm deep, the notch in lead V1 moved up and toward the end of the QRS with impedance of 650 Ω. Increased output, from 6.0 V/0.5 ms (middle) to 8.0 V/0.5 ms (right), caused the paced morphology to change to RBBB and the pLVAT to be shortened from 107 to 72 ms (9). HBP, His-bundle pacing; HB, His bundle; LBB, left bundle branch; LBBP, left bundle branch pacing; RBBB, right bundle branch block; pLVAT, peak left ventricular activation time; AVN, atrioventricular node; RBB, right bundle branch; IVS, interventricular septum.
