Introduction

Permanent His bundle pacing (HBP) is the mostphysiological form of ventricular pacing. Right ventricularpacing is known to cause ventricular dyssynchrony, heartfailure and increased mortality [1–4]. By maintainingconduction through the normal His-Purkinje system, HBPprevents ventricular dyssynchrony and may reduce heartfailure. Deshmukh et al., demonstrated the feasibility ofpermanent HBP in patients undergoing AV node ablation inthe year 2000 [5]. Since then, several investigators havereported successful HBP in a significant number of patients[6–10]. Nonetheless, widespread adoption of this techniquehas remained elusive.

Anatomy of the His bundle

The His bundle begins from the AV nodal tissue andcourses along the membranous septum on the right sidebefore penetrating to the left side on the crest of the muscularportion of the inter-ventricular septum. It is essential for theimplanters to understand that a significant length of theproximal His bundle rests on the right atrial-left ventricularpart of the membranous septum, which is above the tricuspid

valve plane. Several anatomical variations of the distal Hisbundle course have been described. Our experience ofpermanent His bundle pacing in more than 400 consecutivepatients has enabled us to understand these variations andtheir impact on achieving selective or non-selective Hisbundle pacing. Kawashima and Sasaki investigated thelocational variation of the His bundle in 105 elderly humanhearts and described three distinct patterns [11]. In type I(46.7% of 105 cases), the His bundle consistently coursedalong the lower border of the membranous part of theinterventricular septum but was covered with a thin layer ofmyocardial fibers spanning from the muscular part of theseptum. In type II (32.4%) the His bundle was apart from thelower border of the membranous part of the interventricularseptum and ran within the interventricular muscle. In type III(21%), the His bundle was immediately beneath theendocardium and coursed onto the membranous part of theinterventricular septum (naked His bundle). These variationsin the course of the His bundle help explain the differentpatterns of His bundle capture.

Definitions

There have been several different descriptions of Hisbundle capture. In order to provide uniformity, werecommend the following definitions based on the originaldescriptions published by Williams et al. [12], andDeshmukh et al. [5].

Selective His bundle pacing (S-HBP) is defined byventricular activation occurring solely over theHis-Purkinje system. S-HBP can be recognized by the

following criteria: [1] His-Purkinje mediated cardiac activa-tion and repolarization, as evidenced by electrocardiographic(ECG) concordance of QRS and T wave complexes similarto baseline; [2] the paced-ventricular interval is almostidentical to the His-ventricular interval (Fig. 1). S-HBP hasbeen variously described in literature as direct HBP,pure-His pacing and selective-direct HBP. It is importantto note that S-HBP may result in normalization ofpre-existing right or left bundle branch block with T wavememory changes [13,14].

Non-selectiveHis bundle pacing (NS-HBP) is defined basedon capture of basal ventricular septum in addition to Hisbundle capture as: [1] no isoelectric interval between pacingstimulus and QRS; [2] recording His bundle electrogram onthe pacing lead; [3] electrical axis of the paced QRSconcordant with the electrical axis of the spontaneous QRS(if known); [4] narrowing of QRS at higher output due tofusion between RV and His bundle capture and widening ofQRS at lower output due to loss of His bundle capture orvice-versa (Fig. 2). Paced QRS complexes may be narrowerthan the baseline rhythm in the setting of pre-existing BBBor infra-nodal AV block [10,15]. NS-HBP has variouslybeen described in literature as paraHisian pacing [5],pure-paraHisian pacing [16], nonselective-direct HBP [17].Significant confusion still exists regarding paraHisian pacingas several authors do not report actual His bundle capturethresholds (the lowest pacing output at which QRSnarrowing occurs) which may or may not be higher thanthe RV capture threshold [18]. In order to avoid confusion,when His bundle capture is present with fusion, it should bereferred to as nonselective HBP (NS-HBP) and both HB andRV capture thresholds should be specified.

Anatomical approach to His bundle pacing

electrode without using an electrophysiology mappingcatheter [8,9]. In patients with normal His-Purkinje conduc-tion, our approach is to achieve selective His bundle pacing.In our experience, we are able to achieve S-HBP in about50% of these patients. Our ability to achieve S-HBP islimited by atrial capture, atrial oversensing and/or ventricularundersensing in the proximal His bundle region. If any of theabove issues are noted at the time of implant, the lead ispositioned slightly more distally. Often the distal His bundleis covered by a thin layer of myocardial fibers spanning fromthe muscular part of the interventricular septum (KawashimaType I His bundle) [11]. In these patients we see minimalventricular fusion and the paced QRS duration is usually lessthan 120 ms. In a third of patients, the His bundle lies withinthe muscular interventricular septum (type II), whereselective HBP is not feasible. In this situation, NS-HBP isachieved with RV capture threshold lower than the Hiscapture threshold. In patients with the naked His bundle(type III), significant His bundle injury current can beobserved with S-HBP and very low His capture thresholds(b0.5 V). In patients with His-Purkinje conduction disease(bundle branch blocks or intra-Hisian AV block) ourpreference is to achieve NS-HBP. We do not routinely usea RV backup pacing lead in most of our pacemaker implants.By achieving NS-HBP, the right ventricular basal myocar-dial capture can provide a safety back-up pacing should therebe progression of distal Purkinje conduction disease [10].

The following case examples illustrate our anatomicapproach to permanent HBP in specific scenarios.

Case 1: A 74-year-old man with recurrent persistent atrialfibrillation, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, severe LVsystolic dysfunction, EF b20% and class III NYHAsymptoms was referred for AV node ablation andbiventricular ICD implantation.

Middle panel: His bundle pacing at 700 ms in VVI mode. Pacing at 1.2 V@ 1 ms resultsin nonselective HBP in the first 2 beats with short stimulus-QRS interval and QRS axis similar to baseline with evidence for fusion from ventricular and Hisbundle capture. The next 2 beats show selective His bundle capture as the pacing output is decreased to 1 V. Note that the stimulus to atrial interval (240 ms) isunchanged during both selective and nonselective HBP. Right panel: Pacing at 1.3 V @ 0.7 ms results in RV capture only without conduction through the Hisbundle. Note that with the loss of His bundle capture, the retrograde conduction is prolonged with the stimulus to atrial interval of 300 ms.

pacing lead (Medtronic 3830) was abandoned due to atrialcapture at low output. Subsequently, Medtronic C304deflectable sheath was utilized to map the His bundleregion. Despite mapping extensively, selective Hisbundle pacing (S-HBP) could not be achieved in a moredistal location. The paced QRS duration during nonse-lective HBP was about 170 ms with a 60 ms delta wave

Once again the proximalHis region was mapped and the lead implanted success-fully. Pacing at this site resulted in atrial, ventricular andHis bundle capture (Fig. 3).

120 ms to accommodate the HV interval of 60 ms. NS-HBPis generally acceptable in most situations with minimalfusion (≤40 ms). A proximal placement of the HBP lead canlead to significant challenge during AV node ablation. Inpatients undergoing AV node ablation, we prefer that a smallor no atrial electrogram is seen in the HBP lead. AV nodeablation was performed in this patient using a deflectablesheath ensuring that the ablation electrode does not cross thelevel of the ring electrode (Fig. 5). When ablating very closeto the HBP lead, as in this case, we generally pace from theHBP lead at approximately 0.5 V above the HBP threshold(1.5 V @ 1 ms in this patient). Ablation should beterminated if His capture is lost at anytime during theablation. This case illustrates the various challengesassociated with HBP and the need to modify the approachbased on clinical needs and the patient's anatomy.Case 2:An 84-year-old man with a recent onset persistentatrial fibrillation, slow ventricular response (average HR

of 42 bpm), QRS width of 114 ms, LVEF of 40% andNYHA class III symptoms was referred for permanentpacemaker implantation.A dual chamber pacemaker with an HBP lead (ventric-ular) was planned. In patients with high grade AV block,we routinely place the atrial lead in the RV apex duringHis bundle mapping to provide temporary ventricularpacing. During initial mapping we identified a site (A)with a small His electrogram (no atrial signal) whereS-HBP was obtained (Fig. 6). However, the capturethreshold was 2.5 V @ 1 ms at this site. Because of thedifficulty in achieving this location, we decided to furthermap the His bundle region using a second pacing leadwithout sacrificing the original lead. At a slightly distallocation (site B), NS-HBP with minimal fusion wasachieved (Fig. 7). His capture threshold was 3 V @ 1 msat this site. At a slightly more proximal location(approximately 15 mm from site B), small atrial electro-

gram and a large His electrogram (site C) with injurycurrent could be achieved (Fig. 8). HBP threshold at thissite was 0.7 V @ 0.5 ms. Minimal or no ventricularcapture at the two distal sites with His bundle capture(sites A and B), suggest that the His bundle was mainly atthe membranous ventricular septum. High capturethreshold at these sites despite adequate fixation atimplant suggest an anatomical variant of His bundlewith early deep penetration towards the left side of theinterventricular septum as previous described in autopsystudies [19]. A more proximal location provided excellentS-HBP in this patient (Fig. 9). Antiarrhythmic therapywith amiodarone was initiated with a plan for DCcardioversion. This case illustrates the value of additionalmapping before accepting high His bundle capturethreshold. If high HBP threshold at sites A and B wereto be accepted, a biventricular pacemaker with anadditional RV or LV lead would have been acceptablebut at the cost of a significantly shorter pacemaker batterylongevity. We prefer a dual chamber pacemaker toachieve longer battery life.

Case 3: An 80-year-old man with chronic LBBBpresented with complete heart block and a RBBB escaperhythm at 28 bpm. The patient was urgently brought tothe electrophysiology laboratory for permanent pacemak-er implantation. The atrial lead was placed in the rightventricular apex to provide temporary ventricular pacingduring His bundle mapping. His bundle region wasquickly identified and the electrograms confirmed HVblock. On fixing the lead to this site, large Hiselectrograms with injury current was recorded (Fig. 10).However pacing at 5 V @ 1 ms at this site did not resultin His capture. The HBP lead repositioned slightly moredistally (Figs. 11 and 12) resulted in excellent NS-HBPwith a His capture threshold of 1 V @ 1 ms. Hiselectrogram recorded at this site was much smaller inamplitude and likely represented the far-field signal fromthe proximal His bundle. Near field His electrogram wasnot recorded at this site, as there was no distal conduction.Selective His bundle capture achieved at a low outputwith a short stimulus to ventricular interval of 35 msconfirm that the lead was at the His bundle distal to the

Split His or distal Hispotentials suggestive of intra-His AV block was recordedonly in a small number of patients in our experience [10].The level of HV block in this patient was very discrete(b5 mm) and by mapping the distal His bundle it waspossible to achieve excellent His capture.

Location of the His bundle pacing lead

In patients with S-HBP, the entire lead and the tipelectrode is in the right atrium and the lead does not cross thetricuspid valve plane and has been demonstrated byechocardiography, cardiac CT [20] and in autopsy study[21]. In most patients with NS-HBP, we have noticed that theHBP lead does not cross the tricuspid annulus [22]. It is ourobservation that in some patients with NS-HBP, the HBP

Summary

Selective HBP can be achieved in the majority of patientswith normal His-Purkinje conduction. Even in patients withNS-HBP, the His capture threshold is often lower than theRV capture threshold. This can be explained by the presenceof thin layer of ventricular myocardium spanning the Hisbundle at the membranous septum. Understanding the Hisbundle anatomy is essential to achieving successful perma-nent HBP. In majority of patients with HV block, the block isat the level of the proximal His bundle and HBP can beachieved by mapping the distal His bundle.
