In this patient, the His bundle potential with HV interval was 62 ms in
the first position – left panel. The QRS amplitude was 1.9 mV and
atrial activity could be easily identified on the EGM. Then the lead was
moved towards the right ventricle to the para-hisian location – middle
panel. The atrial activity was no longer recognizable, the QRS amplitude
increased to 2.8 mV, and the HV interval shortened to 42 ms. Pacing with
an output between 1.0 V–3.5 V at 0.5 ms led to myocardial capture of
the ventricles (cSp capture was present with outputs above 3.5 V at 0.5
ms). The pacing lead was fixed inside the septum with 3 rotations –
right panel. The QRS amplitude further increased to 3.5 mV and cSp
capture occurred starting as 1.25 V at 0.5 ms (myocardial capture was
present between outputs of 0.75–1.25 V at 0.5 ms). Asterisks show the
first position of the lead.
