Core Tip	Baseline right bundle branch block is associated with a 4.52-fold increased odds of permanent pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (95%CI: 2.64-7.74; I² = 50.3%), underscoring the clinical relevance of preprocedural electrocardiographic risk stratification in this population.
