With the advent of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and the awareness of the impairment of ventricular systolic function caused by intraventricular conduction disorders, especially left bundle branch block, after more than 50 years of routine use, conventional right univentricular artificial cardiac pacing, particularly in its classical site – the apical region – is now being questioned. In fact, conventional right univentricular pacing usually generates a large QRS (often greater than 150 ms), with electrocardiographic pattern of left bundle branch block […]
