This course
Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is increasingly being used as a physiological alternative to RV pacing to treat patients with bradycardia or to classic biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure. The Catharina Hospital is an early adopter of LBBP and its implanting physicians have reached extensive experience in routinely performing LBBP.
We offer personalized training for physicians who want to start performing LBBP in their center or for physicians who already have limited experience and are seeking to improve or refine their skills. During attendance of live cases at our Cathlab, implantation techniques, electrophysiological confirmation of LBB capture, real-time LV/RV activation imaging by means of a ultra-high frequency ECG technique (Ventricular Dyssynchrony Imaging), and device programming will be discussed and demonstrated.
Key reasons to attend
- Interactive training in small groups (1-2 attendants)
- Learn tips and tricks from highly experienced implanters
- Learn how ventricular activation mapping may assist in performing LBBP
Objectives
- Learn implantation technique
- Learn electrophysiological criteria of LBB capture
