The LAHRS, APHRS and HRS invites interested stakeholders to submit comments on the draft recommendations of the 2022 HRS/APHRS/LAHRS Guideline on Cardiac Physiologic Pacing for the Avoidance and Mitigation of Heart Failure. This open public comment stage provides greater transparency in the clinical practice document development process and the opportunity for key stakeholders to offer feedback before the document’s finalization and publication. All comments will be reviewed, and recommendations edited as appropriate.
The clinical practice guideline is intended to provide comprehensive guidance to electrophysiologists, cardiologists, and other health care providers in the use of pacing in patients with bradycardia-only indications and those in heart failure without bradycardia indications.
Document goals:
-
Introduce the general concepts of cardiac physiologic pacing, which includes conductions system pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapies
-
Review indications for cardiac physiologic pacing to improve outcomes and reduce risk of unnecessary procedures
-
Discuss optimal approaches for pre-procedure, at the time of implant, and follow-up practices
-
Identify opportunities for shared decision making to improve patient outcomes and experiences
-
Provide recommendations for troubleshooting unfavorable responses
