Permanent para-Hisian pacing is feasible and safe. Compared with conventional right apical pacing, it allows an improvement in functional and hemodynamic parameters over long-term follow-up.

In patients with cardioinhibitory VVS, CLS reduces the occurrence of syncope induced by HUTT, compared with DDD pacing. When CLS is not able to abort the vasovagal reflex, it seems to delay the onset of syncope.

In our experience, inappropriate ICD discharges unrelated to supraventricular arrhythmias occurred in about 4% of ICD patients. A careful evaluation of clinical data and telemetric information (lead impedance, sensed R-wave, stored electrograms) is essential in order to understand the nature of inappropriate ICD discharges and to select the most appropriate solution.
