Özet

The use of septal pacing, a novel pacemaker technique, is particularly recommended for patients with heart failure and a pacing requirement of ≥40% within a 24-hour period. The feasibility and effectiveness of left bundle area pacing remain unknown in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Our case represents the fi rst instance in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients demonstrating the applicability of conduction system pacing.
