Abstract
Left bundle branch–optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy (LOT-CRT), combining left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) with a left ventricular lead, offers physiological activation and improved synchrony compared with conventional biventricular pacing. We report a 78-year-old woman with pacing-induced cardiomyopathy who underwent LOT-CRT, resulting in QRS narrowing but notable QT prolongation and T-wave inversions. On the first post-implant day, she developed ventricular fibrillation triggered by premature ventricular complexes, without reversible metabolic or ischemic cause. This case highlights the potential for early post-procedural ventricular arrhythmias in structurally compromised ventricles, underscoring the importance of vigilant monitoring and individualized risk assessment following LOT-CRT.
期刊介绍:
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
