His Pacing

Interesting. My EP was going to try  HIS pacing on me but said it would not work because i have both LBBB and RBBB. Never knew RBBB would be a problem

Nowhere to connect

The idea of His-bundle pacing is to connect high enough to be able to drive both ventricles from a single electrical impulse but low enough to be below the AV node block.

If both branches are blocked, then there's nowhere to connect to with a single lead that will drive both L and R.

But there's always 3-lead CRT if needed.

You trust technology more than your heart.

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
