Abstract

For patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), chronic ventricular pacing may lead to progressive cardiomyopathy owing to electromechanical dyssynchrony. Cardiac conduction system pacing (CSP) has been proposed as a physiologic pacing strategy-directly engaging the His-Purkinje system and preserving electromechanical synchrony. CSP may be indicated for a wide variety of children and adults with CHD and has emerged as an important tool in the armamentarium for cardiac implantable electronic device operators. This review provides the rationale, background, and supportive evidence for CSP in patients with CHD and discusses implant strategies and outcomes in the context of dominant ventricular morphologic categories.
