Summary
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) offers physiological pacing in children with heart block. This novel technique is feasible and shows stable electrical parameters, potentially preventing pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Cardiovascular Devices
Background:
- Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is an emerging technique for physiological cardiac pacing.
- It offers a narrow QRS duration and may prevent right ventricular pacing-induced cardiomyopathy, particularly relevant in children with high pacing needs.

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Pulse assessment sites are crucial in evaluating a patient's cardiovascular health. By assessing the pulsations of arteries at specific anatomical locations, healthcare professionals can gather valuable information about blood flow, heart rate, and peripheral circulation. Understanding these pulse assessment sites is essential for conducting comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations and monitoring patients' overall health. These sites are strategically chosen due to the accessibility and...

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
