Long-term effectiveness of right septal pacing vs. right apical pacing in patients with atrioventricular block

Background: Long-term right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing increases the risk of heart failure (HF) by inducing ventricular dyssynchronization. Although recent studies suggest that right ventricular septal (RVS) pacing results in improved short-term outcomes, its long-term effectiveness remains unc...
