Kinetics and Disappearance of QRS Transition in Patients Undergoing Left Bundle Branch Pacing - A Novel Method for Classifying Microdislodgement.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionQRS transition during the threshold test is the gold standard for confirming direct capture of the Conduction System in patients with left bundle branch pacing (LBBP). Still, we have limited data on the kinetics of QRS transition over time. Microdislodgement is a known complication of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP); however, its true incidence depends on the thoroughness of follow-up. We aimed to evaluate the kinetics and disappearance of QRS transition in patients undergoing LBBP, assess the diagnostic yield of QRS transition at various time points, and characterize microdislodgement.
methodsThis prospective study included patients who underwent successful LBBP procedures at a tertiary center between January 2022 and February 2024. Based on the kinetics of QRS transition during intraoperative, postoperative, and follow-up threshold tests, microdislodgement was assessed.
resultsLBB capture was confirmed in 118 of 155 LBBAP patients (76.1%), which defined our LBBP population. Intraoperative QRS transition was observed in 86.4%, which decreased significantly postoperatively (47.0%) and at follow-up (33.0%)-in 92.0% of LBBP patients' capture of LBB remained, while microdislodgement occurred only in 5.0% of LBBP cases.
conclusionThis study evaluates QRS transition kinetics in LBBAP patients, showing significant intraoperative detectability in patients with direct capture of LBB that decreases postoperatively and at first follow-up. Our classification of microdislodgement aids in understanding its impact on pacing outcomes.
