Article Abstract
Aims: This study aims to explore the different transition patterns and capture types during two bipolar pacing tests based on the selective left bundle branch (LBB) capture determined by the continuous pacing and recording technique.
Methods: In total, 67 patients completed two unipolar and two bipolar pacing tests based on selective LBB capture during screwing-in for left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) using the continuous pacing and recording technique. The electrophysiological characteristics and potential mechanisms of different pacing configurations were further evaluated in this study.
Results: We found six transition patterns and derived seven capture types in two bipolar pacing tests according to the analysis of continuous electrocardiogram and electrogram changes. Compared with the conventional configuration of "Tip-Ring+" bipolar pacing, "Ring-Tip+" testing had a lower threshold for simultaneous capture of the LBB and the left and right ventricular septum myocardium (1.57 vs. 2.84 V at 0.5 ms) and was the only configuration to yield the peculiar "LBBP + right ventricular septum pacing (RVSP)" capture type.
Conclusions: In this study, we observed for the first time that "Ring-Tip+" bipolar pacing allows for a lower clinically applicable pacing threshold for simultaneous capture of the LBB and left and right ventricular septum myocardium, and the peculiar "LBBP + RVSP" capture type. This may be a more advantageous physiological pacing configuration, warranting further investigation and application in the future.
Lay Summary: Based on the specific selective LBB capture, we first found six transition patterns and derived seven capture types in two bipolar pacing tests due to the different thresholds of the LBB, left ventricular septal myocardial, and right ventricular septal myocardial. Compared with the conventional configuration of "Tip-Ring+" bipolar pacing, "Ring-Tip+" testing had a lower threshold for simultaneous capture of the LBB and the left and right ventricular septum myocardium (1.57 vs. 2.84 V at 0.5 ms) and was the only configuration to yield the peculiar "LBBP + RVSP" capture type. More pacing strategies should be released and investigated to achieve the best physiological pacing according to the individualized electrophysiological characteristics of patients.

AI-based QRS Onset Detection in the Early Ventricular Activation Site ECGs.
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
September 2025
Identifying the onset of the QRS complex is an important step for localizing the site of origin (SOO) of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and the exit site of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). However, identifying the QRS onset is challenging due to signal noise, baseline wander, motion artifact, and muscle artifact. Furthermore, in VT, QRS onset detection is especially difficult due to the overlap with repolarization from the prior beat.

Background: Uninterrupted left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) lead implantation with the endpoint of transition to selected (S)-left bundle (LB) capture is feasible and safe during the procedure; however, the relatively long-term outcomes remain unknown.
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the short- to mid-term performance and safety of uninterrupted LBBP lead implantation.
Methods: Patients who underwent successful LBBP and achieved the implantation endpoint, guided by continuous paced intracardiac electrogram monitoring, were enrolled.

To evaluate the prevalence and types of adverse events associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with abandoned temporary epicardial pacing wires (TEPW) over an eight-year period. A total of 54 patients and 104 MRI examinations with abandoned TEPW (9 cardiac, 6 non-cardiac thoracic, 89 other) were included in the final analysis. Imaging was reviewed to confirm wire presence and billing information was queried to identify hardware manufacturer.

Right atrial tachycardia (AT) is a frequent rhythm disorder in patients with atrial scar mainly due to surgical incisions or congenital heart diseases. Despite the mounting evidence about AT mechanisms and types, data are scarce regarding the conduction properties as well as the functional characteristics of the atrial substrate during sinus rhythm, which plays a role in the maintenance of tachycardia. We sought to evaluate the relationship between the functional substrate mapping (FSM) characteristics of the right atrium (RA) and the critical isthmus (CI) of re-entrant ATs in patients with underlying atrial scar.

Aims: The recurrence rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) after ablation remains high due to the difficulty in locating VT critical sites. This study proposes a machine learning approach for improved identification of ablation targets based on intracardiac electrograms (EGMs) features derived from standard substrate mapping in a chronic myocardial infarction (MI) porcine model.
Methods And Results: Thirteen pigs with chronic MI underwent invasive electrophysiological studies using multipolar catheters (Advisor™ HD grid, EnSite Precision™).
