Background: Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a rare genetic illness, which concerns disturbances in the appearance of the upper limbs, congenital heart malformations, and cardiac conduction diseases. HOS usually requires the implantation of a pacemaker, because of cardiac conduction disturbances.
Case report: We present the case of a patient with HOS qualified for pacemaker implantation due to overt bradycardia. To prevent the development of heart failure in the future, the His-bundle pacing technique was used. The implantation was successful. In the control, after one year, the man remains in good condition. The pacing was over 90%, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was stable (60%).
Conclusions: So far, there are no reports on which methods of stimulation are required when it comes to patients with HOS. His-bundle pacing technique is a new type of physiological pacing, which can avoid heart failure.
