Conduction system pacing
Pacing the heart's own conduction system, such as the left bundle branch area.
Key point
Conduction system pacing may offer potential advantages over biventricular pacing in patients indicated for CRT; confirmation in larger randomized clinical trials is required.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"conduction system pacing"[tiab] OR "left bundle branch area pacing"[tiab] OR "left bundle branch pacing"[tiab]Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
