BACKGROUND Permanent His-bundle pacing (HBP) has the potential to physiologically normalize wide QRS duration in patients with bundle branch block and cardiomyopathy.OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of incorporating a His-bundle lead for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in lieu of a coronary sinus lead.METHODS Patients with an indication for CRT (n = 21) underwent attempted implantation of an HBP placed into the left ventricular (LV) lead port. Intracardiac intervals, QRS duration, New York Heart Association functional class, ejection fraction (EF), echocardiography, and lead characteristics were measured at baseline and at follow-up.RESULTS Of the 21 patients in whom implantation was attempted, HBP was successfully implanted in 16 (age 62 +/- 18 years, 4 females, EF 25 +/- 8). A significant reduction in mean QRS was observed, with narrowing from 180 +/- 23 ms to 129 +/- 13 ms (P
