Overview
Conduction System Pacing: Recent Advances and Clinical Applications
Conduction system pacing (CSP) has significantly evolved in recent years, expanding from His bundle pacing to include left bundle branch pacing and left ventricular septal pacing. This webinar, led by Dr Pugazhendhi Vijayaraman, a renowned expert in the field, features presentations from esteemed faculty, Prof Marek Jastrzębski and Dr Oscar Cano. The session aims to provide an in-depth overview of the latest advancements in CSP, with a particular focus on the current role of His bundle pacing, new insights gained from the use of stylet-driven leads, and guidance on outpatient follow-up and troubleshooting for patients undergoing CSP.
In addition to exploring the application of CSP in bradycardia, this webinar will present emerging data on its use in patients with heart failure who require cardiac resynchronization therapy, particularly those with left bundle branch block or mixed conduction disease.

Marek Jastrzębski
Personal History
Prof Marek Jastrzębski is a heart rhythm specialist, professor and head of the EP Laboratory at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland. He was the first electrophysiologist in Poland.1, 4
In his spare time, Prof Jastrzębski enjoys classic photography, snowboarding and beekeeping.1
Academic History
In 1995, Prof Jastrzębski graduated from Jagiellonian University, where he also obtained his doctorate in Medicine in 2003 and pursued his specialisation training in cardiology in 2006.2, 5
His scientific interests and main directions of research include cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac electrostimulation, resynchronization therapy, His-Purkinje system stimulation, and clinical electrocardiography.3
Career Overview
Prof Jastrzębski is the head of the EP Laboratory in the 1st Department of Cardiology and Interventional Electrocardiology at Jagiellonian University Collegium Medicum.
As the first electrophysiologist in Poland, he obtained both EHRA certificates (‘Clinical Cardiac Pacing’ in 2006 and ‘Invasive Electrophysiology’ in 2007) and both Polish Cardiac Society certificates (‘Expert in Electrophysiology’ and ‘Expert in Electrotherapy’). After short stays in several centres around Europe and the USA (London, St George's, Bad Krozingen, Germany, Lancaster, Pennsylvania), he introduced new treatment options in his EP lab and has performed over 6500 EP procedures.4
He has over 22 years of clinical experience, including over 5,000 self-performed interventional electrocardiology procedures (ablations, resynchronization, electrostimulation) and many pioneering procedures in the macroregion scale.2
Prof Jastrzębski has published over 200 papers and especially values his CRT research, the “VT score method” for diagnosis of wide QRS complex tachycardias and the introduction of the “programmed His bundle pacing” manoeuvre.4
