Abstract
Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) are associated with increased risk of stroke and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Many episodes of new-onset AF/AFL (NOAF) occur after...

Introduction
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a well-established therapy for heart failure, wide QRS (>150 ms), and especially, left bundle branch block. Today, there are recognized techniques for achieving left ventricular (LV)...

Background
His bundle pacing (HBP) has been shown to improve clinical outcomes compared to right ventricular pacing. By accessing the native conduction system, HBP allows for physiologic activation of the ventricles, which is not possible...
