His bundle pacing – a new word in technology of pacing and treatment of heart failure by Ya.V. Skybchyk, Ye.V. Zhytyns’kiy, О.М. Grytsay, V.О. Kuts, О.J. Zharinov

“…Despite certain temporary limitations – lack of results of the large randomized trials, necessity of the special surgeon's experience in implantation of the electrode, there are reasons to consider His bundle pacing as a promising alternative to the existing methods of treatment of bradyarrhythmias (e.g. classic right ventricular pacing, cardiac resynchronization therapy), particularly in patients with a predicted high (> 40 %) percentage of right ventricular pacing and decreased left ventricular systolic function.…”
