Abstract
Conduction system pacing is widely used as an alternative to right ventricular pacing and, in some cases, as an alternative to biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Proper programming of an implantable electronic device is essential to ensure patient safety and maximize the benefits. The aim of this article is to provide information on the practical aspects of programming His bundle and left bundle branch pacing and subsequent monitoring.
