Left bundle branch area pacing in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: a case series

Traditional pacing strategies in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, such as right ventricular pacing, have been associated with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and worsening heart failure. Although biventricular pacing has been explored, the supporting evidence remains limited and inconclusive. Recent studies have suggested that left bundle branch area pacing poses a lower risk of inducing heart failure than biventricular pacing. Our findings support the safety and efficacy of the left bundle branch area pacing in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis-related atrioventricular blocks and underscore its viability as a pacing strategy.

Abstract

Traditional pacing strategies in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, such as right ventricular pacing, have been associated with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and worsening heart failure. Although biventricular pacing has been explored, the supporting evidence remains limited and inconclusive. Recent studies have suggested that left bundle branch area pacing poses a lower risk of inducing heart failure than biventricular pacing. Our findings support the safety and efficacy of the left bundle branch area pacing in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis-related atrioventricular blocks and underscore its viability as a pacing strategy.
