HIS-Bundle Pacing is a cutting-edge technique used to treat patients requiring pacemaker therapy. Unlike traditional pacing methods, HIS-Bundle Pacing directly stimulates the His bundle, a part of the heart’s natural conduction system. This approach preserves the heart’s natural electrical pathways, resulting in more efficient and physiologic heart rhythms.
FAQs About HIS-Bundle Pacing
- Who benefits from HIS-Bundle Pacing?
HIS-Bundle Pacing is ideal for patients with heart block, atrial fibrillation with slow heart rates, or other conditions requiring pacemaker therapy. - How is HIS-Bundle Pacing different from traditional pacing?
Traditional pacemakers stimulate the ventricles directly, which can disrupt the heart’s natural rhythm. HIS-Bundle Pacing works within the heart’s conduction system, maintaining a more natural rhythm. - Is HIS-Bundle Pacing safe?
Yes, the procedure is safe when performed by experienced specialists like Dr. Weitz. - How long does the procedure take?
The implantation typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. - What is recovery like?
Recovery is generally quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
The HIS-Bundle Pacing Procedure
- Pre-Procedure Evaluation:
Dr. Weitz performs a thorough evaluation, including imaging and electrocardiograms (ECGs), to determine if HIS-Bundle Pacing is appropriate for your condition. - The Procedure:
- A lead is implanted near the His bundle using advanced imaging guidance.
- The lead is connected to a pacemaker, which delivers electrical impulses to maintain a normal heart rhythm.
- Post-Procedure Care:
Patients are monitored briefly after the procedure and typically discharged the same day. Follow-up appointments ensure the pacemaker is functioning optimally.
Who is a Candidate for HIS-Bundle Pacing?
