BACKGROUND Biventricular pacing (BiV) to effect cardiac resynchronization therapy can be technically difficult and fails to elicit a clinical response in 30% to 40% of patients. Direct His-bundle pacing (DHBP) theoretically could obviate some of these problems. Although DHBP is capable of narrowing the QRS in some patients, the consistency with which this can be achieved has not been characterized.OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to restore His-Purkinje functionality in consecutive patients undergoing de novo clinically mandated cardiac resynchronization therapy.METHODS DHBP was temporarily implemented at the time of implantation of a permanent BiV system in patients referred for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Native conduction, DHBP, and BiV QRS duration were compared. All patients presenting for BiV cardiac resynchronization therapy were eligible for the study. Ten patients were studied.RESULTS DHBP was successfully implemented in all 10 patients. In 7 of 10 patients, DHBP narrowed the QRS significantly compared with native conduction and BiV (mean QRS duration: native 171 +/- 13 ms, DHBP 148 +/- 11 ms, BiV 158 +/- 21, P
