Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the trends and predictors of cardiac tamponade among permanent pacemaker (PPM) recipients in the United States between 2008 and 2012. Limited data exist regarding the burden, trend, and predictors of tamponade in patients following PPM implantation. The National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample database was used to identify PPM implantations between 2008 and 2012. Among 922,549 patients who received PPM devices between 2008 and 2012, cardiac tamponade occurred in 2,595 patients (0.28%). Overall, in-hospital cardiac tamponade rates increased by 35% among recipients of PPMs. The incidence rate steadily increased from 0.26% in 2008 to 0.35% in 2012 (p < 0.0001). Although the mean age (p = 0.28) and sex distribution (p = 0.25) did not change over the years, the rate of in-hospital mortality increased among patients who developed tamponade from 2008 to 2012 (p = 0.014). After multivariate adjustment for patient and hospital characteristics, female sex (odds ratio [OR]: 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04 to 1.54; p = 0.011), dual-chamber pacemakers (OR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.17 to 2.41; p < 0.004), and chronic liver disease (OR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.92 to 5.64; p < 0.001) were found to be independently a...Continue Reading

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

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