Too much synchrony? Left bundle branch area pacing-induced systolic anterior motion and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction managed by intentional atrioventricular dyssynchrony

HJHyung Ki JeongSKSung Soo KimHKHyun Woo Kim

Key Result

Prolonging the atrioventricular delay from 150 ms to 250 ms during left bundle branch area pacing reduced the left ventricular outflow tract gradient from 120 mmHg to 30 mmHg.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the effects of atrioventricular dyssynchrony on managing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction induced by pacing.
  • Employs varying AV delays from 100 ms to 250 ms.
  • Focuses on the final setting of AV delay at 250 ms.
  • Evaluates resolution of dynamic LVOT obstruction.
  • Near-complete resolution of dynamic LVOT obstruction at AV delay of 250 ms.

Jeong et al. (2026) conducted a case report in First-degree atrioventricular block with intermittent high-grade block and latent LVOTO (n=1). Prolongation of atrioventricular (AV) delay vs. AV delay 150 ms was evaluated on Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient (mmHg). Prolonging the atrioventricular delay from 150 ms to 250 ms during left bundle branch area pacing reduced the left ventricular outflow tract gradient from 120 mmHg to 30 mmHg.
