8th Annual International Physiology of Pacing Symposium

8th Annual International Physiology of Pacing Symposium

The 8th Annual International Physiology of Pacing Symposium features a gathering of world-renowned faculty who delve into the latest methods and strategies for optimizing the physiological pacing of the heart. This one-dayCME-accredited symposium will focus on cutting-edge conduction system pacing (CSP) approaches, including His-bundle Pacing (HBP), left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), and left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP). These evolving pacing modalities hold immense potential to achieve electrical excitation of the heart through the normal specialized conduction system.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
 

  • Discuss the evolving role of conduction system pacing (CSP) for standard permanent pacing and cardiac resynchronization.  
  • Describe challenges and methods for implantation technique of permanent His-bundle pacing (HBP), left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), and left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP) 
  • Review the relationship between electrical stimulation of the heart and the mechanics of myocardial contraction.  
  • Review the history and recent advances of CSP and emerging clinical situations and applications in patients with narrow and wide QRS morphology.  
  • Review the anatomy of the membranous septum conduction system concerning the right atrium, tricuspid valve, and ventricular septum.  
  • Summarize strategies and clinical evidence for the various approaches to achieve cardiac resynchronization, including leadless technology, multisite pacing, and left ventricular (LV) endocardial pacing.  
  • Outline approaches to complications during implant procedures for CSP.  
  • Discuss approaches for remote monitoring and optimization of CSP and CRT systems.
