Abstract The impact of age (≥ 85 vs 1 V) and persistence of His-Purkinje capture on follow-up. Among 984 patients (age 74.1 ± 11.2 years, 41% CSP, 16% ≥ 85 years), CSP was independently associated with reduced hazard of the primary endpoint compared to RVP, regardless of age-group ( 0.05). CSP improves clinical outcomes in all age-groups, without compromising procedural safety or pacemaker performance in the very elderly.
