Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is associated with a lower likelihood of death and surgical heart failure (HF) interventions in patients with HF. This effect is mainly driven by reduced all cause and cardiovascular death following ablation. Ablation also results in improved left ventricular (LV) function, decreased AF burden and AF regression. The accumulated evidence contributed substantially to a class 1 indication for AF ablation in patients with AF and HF with reduced ejection fraction in the 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS guidelines. Risk scores like the CASTLE-HTx risk score may help to identify patients with HF who will particularly benefit from catheter ablation. The absolute benefit of catheter ablation is more pronounced in high-risk patients and is sustained over time. Catheter ablation should be considered as first-line therapy with a definitive class 1 indication for many patients with HF, particularly those with advanced HF.

Left bundle branch area pacing is currently the most common form of physiological pacing prior to His bundle pacing. It is intended to prevent or correct the development of pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy and is being used more and more frequently. In order to be able to perform this successfully, knowledge regarding the specific anatomy and radiological anatomy as well as the ECG criteria for left bundle branch pacing is required in addition to knowledge of the tools. In this article, the technical requirements and steps for successful implantation are summarized and pitfalls are highlighted.

The cornerstone of heart failure treatment consists of a four pillar drug therapy. Patients with existing heart failure and complete left bundle branch block, or patients with an indication for pacemaker therapy for bradycardia and heart failure, benefit from physiological stimulation. For patients with left bundle branch block and severely impaired left ventricular systolic pump function (HFrEF), cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) has so far been the gold standard. However, it is now increasingly possible to stimulate the conduction system directly using new forms of stimulation and to achieve similar clinical results. At present, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is the form of stimulation most frequently investigated in clinical studies. A special situation arises in the case of pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy with right ventricular apical pacing. Here, LBBAP is certainly a beacon of hope.

Like children, adult patients with active or abandoned epicardial pacing leads are also at risk of developing life-threatening cardiac ischemia due to mechanical compression of the coronary arteries. As this complication is amenable to surgical removal, these patients require periodic evaluation for myocardial ischemia even if they are asymptomatic.
