Abstract

This retrospective study included a large cohort of consecutive patients primarily implanted at Skejby University Hospital with an AAI/AAIR pacemaker because of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) from July 1981 to July 1999. The primary aim of the study was to analyze the risk of developing AV block during long-term follow-up. A secondary aim was to study the incidence and reasons for changes in pacing mode caused by other than AV block. A total of 399 patients (231 women, mean age 71 +/- 13.5 years) were identified. Mean follow-up was 4.6 +/- 3.4 years and occurred at death, reoperation with mode change, pacemaker explant, or end of study. During follow-up, 44 patients had a ventricular lead implanted with a mean delay of 2.8 +/- 3.1 years (range 1 day-10.4 years) after the primary implantation. A total of 30 patients received a ventricular lead because of AV block or AF with bradycardia (annual incidence 1.7%). Another 14 patients received a ventricular lead without having documented AV block or AF with pauses (annual incidence 0.8%). The present observational study documents that in patients with SSS treated with AAI/AAIR pacing, AV block requiring implantation of a ventricular lead occurs at a rate of 1.7% per year. It is considered...Continue Reading

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
