Development of sinus node disease in patients with AV block: implications for single lead VDD pacing.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of sinus node disease after pacemaker implantation for exclusive atrioventricular (AV) block. DESIGN 441 patients were followed after VDD (n = 219) or DDD pacemaker (n = 222) implantation for AV block over a mean period of 37 months. Sinus node disease and atrial arrhythmias had been excluded by Holter monitoring and treadmill exercise preoperatively in ...
متن کاملImmediate and mid-term safety and efficacy of single lead VDD pacemakers for patients with atrioventricular block and normal sinus node function--a single centre experience.
INTRODUCTION Single lead atrial synchronous ventricular pacing (VDD) is increasingly being used in place of conventional dual chamber pacing (DDD) for patients with atrioventricular block and preserved sinus node function. Compared to the latter, VDD pacemakers provide similar haemodynamic benefits derived from atrial synchronous pacing, with the added benefit of an easier implant procedure. ...
متن کامل[Safety and effectiveness of single-lead VDD pacing].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Single-lead VDD pacing provides the physiological benefits of atrioventricular synchrony with the convenience of a single-lead system. However, concern remains about the method's safety and effectiveness. METHOD In total, 700 patients with single-lead VDD pacemakers were evaluated retrospectively. The following parameters were recorded: age, sex, etiology, the symp...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up of single-lead VDD pacing.
Long-term outcomes of single-lead VDD pacing were studied retrospectively and partly prospectively. Records were analysed of 81 patients out of 133 in whom a single-lead VDD pacemaker was implanted between January 1993 and December 1997 and who attended a follow-up clinic more than two years after the implant. Forty-eight of them attended a prospective follow-up 54 +/- 15 months after the impla...
متن کاملA comparison of single-lead atrial pacing with dual-chamber pacing in sick sinus syndrome.
AIMS In patients with sick sinus syndrome, bradycardia can be treated with a single-lead pacemaker or a dual-chamber pacemaker. Previous trials have revealed that pacing modes preserving atrio-ventricular synchrony are superior to single-lead ventricular pacing, but it remains unclear if there is any difference between single-lead atrial pacing (AAIR) and dual-chamber pacing (DDDR). METHODS A...
