Which statement best describes the outcomes expected after successful conduction system pacing?

The statement that patients generally experience enhanced functional capacity after successful conduction system pacing is accurate because this type of pacing aims to improve the electrical conduction and mechanical coordination of the heart. Traditional pacing methods might not effectively capture the heart's natural rhythm, often leading to suboptimal cardiac function and reduced exercise capacity.

In contrast, conduction system pacing directly targets the heart's specialized conduction pathways, like the His bundle or the left bundle branch. By restoring a more physiological activation pattern, it can lead to improved synchrony between the atria and ventricles. This improved synchrony helps the heart pump more effectively, which can enhance cardiac output and overall functional capacity. As a result, patients often find they can engage in physical activities with greater ease and less fatigue, reflecting an improvement in their quality of life and heart function.
