Long-term prognosis after cardiac pacing in atrioventricular block.
The long-term prognosis after cardiac pacing in atrioventricular block was assessed by a follow-up study of 48 patients in whom pacing had been introduced 5 years or more before analysis. The one-year survival rate was 8i .3 per cent and the 5-year survival rate was 58 3 per cent. These figures are substantially better than the survival rate reported in patients notpaced. The mortality has been...
متن کاملLong-term prognosis after acute anterior infarction with atrioventricular block.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the need for permanent pacing in patients who have survived the effects of anterior myocardial infarction with complete heart block and have returned to sinus rhythm but who are left with impairment of intraventricular conduction. We have reviewed 52 patients with complete heart block complicating recent anterior myocardial infarction. Temporary pacing ...
متن کاملPacing for atrioventricular block.
to the editor: The report by Toff and colleagues on the United Kingdom Pacing and Cardiovascular Events (UKPACE) trial (July 14 issue), 1 evaluating cardiovascular end points in elderly patients with atrioventricular block, showed that the use of dual-chamber pacing to maintain atrioventricular synchrony conferred no survival advantage over the use of single-chamber pacing. These results may be...
متن کاملCardiac pacing in incomplete atrioventricular block with atrial fibrillation.
are described; two had ischaemic heart disease, and one had cardiomyopathy. In thefirst case the slow ventricular response to atrialfibrillation was a result of incomplete atrioventricular nodal block, and in the other two His bundle electrograms demonstrated that the slow ventricular response was due to bilateral bundle-branch block. The association of atrial fibrillation and conduction delays...
متن کاملSecond-degree atrioventricular block type II and third-degree atrioventricular block requiring cardiac pacing after tooth extraction
Because atrioventricular block can cause cardiovascular collapse, the rapid management of this condition is necessary. An 82-year-old man complained of discomfort after tooth extraction, and electrocardiography showed second- and third-degree atrioventricular blocks. Dentists should monitor patients who report discomfort using electrocardiography because of the possibility of life-threatening a...
