“…Our study demonstrated that patients with TPM therapy and PPMs had an advanced age and male predominance, consistent with worldwide PPM survey and recent studies for temporal trends of PPM 7–9 . Aging and male gender had higher comorbidities for cardiovascular events, 10,11 which might be responsible for advanced age and male predominance in patients requiring pacing.…”

Increasing trends in patients requiring TPMs were observed in the elderly patients and those with AVCD and idiopathic degeneration, while decreasing trends were observed in those with SAND and ACS. Idiopathic degeneration was associated with AVCD, whereas extrinsic etiologies were related to SAND. Patients with intrinsic etiologies had a higher incidence of PPM implantation than those with extrinsic factors for TPM.

“…This is reflected in the increasing use worldwide of DDDR pacing in SSS 21 22. To reflect contemporary practice more accurately, and to ensure that our results did not simply reflect increased incidence of syncope due to the development of AV block in our AAIR group, we performed repeat data analysis excluding the 54 patients from this group who required upgrade to DDDR pacing due to AV block.…”

Long-term outcome in patients receiving permanent pacemaker implantation for atrioventricular block

et al. 2016

A permanent pacemaker (PPM) with dual chamber pacing (DDD) offers atrioventricular synchronization for patients with atrioventricular block (AVB). Single lead atrial synchronous ventricular pacing mode (VDD) is an alternative, but there are concerns about its efficacy and risk of atrial undersensing. Whether VDD can be a good alternative in patients with AVB remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term risk of mortality of VDD with DDD pacing.A total of 207 patients undergoing PPM implantations for AVB with VDD mode were enrolled from 2000 to 2013. Another 828 age- and sex-matched patients undergoing DDD implantations during the same period of time were selected as the control group in a 1 to 4 ratio. The study endpoint was mortality.A total of 1035 patients (64.3% male) were followed up for 46.5 ± 43.2 months. The mean ages were 75.0 years for VDD, and 74.9 years for DDD. The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed no significant difference in long-term survival between the VDD and DDD groups (log-rank P = 0.313). After adjustment for baseline characteristics, the VDD and DDD groups had a similar long-term prognosis with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.875 (P = 0.445). Further analyses for the risk of cardiovascular and noncardiovascular deaths also showed no significant differences between the 2 groups.The long-term prognosis of VDD mode is comparable to that of DDD mode. Single lead VDD can be considered as an alternative choice in patients with AVB without sinus nodal dysfunction.

Trend of the main clinical characteristics and pacing modality in patients treated by pacemaker: data from the Italian Pacemaker Registry for the quinquennium 2003-07

Abstract: Italian PM Registry data for the study period reveal a stable pattern of PM utilization and indications. A higher use of dual-chamber pacing in comparison to single-chamber pacing was reported for all indications, despite inconclusive data of the major randomized trials.
