Background: To determine the demographic details, indications, type of pacemakers and complications in patients undergoing the permanent pacemaker implantation.Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study conducted in at a tertiary-care center in India. The records of 200 patients who had undergone implantation of permanent pacemakers in the period of May 2016 to April 2018 were reviewed.Results: Total 200 patients with mean age of 67 years were paced. Of these 120 (60%) were males. The mean duration of hospital stay was 6.5 days. Sinus node disease (105 patients, 52.5%) was the most common indication for permanent pacemaker insertion. Single chamber (VVIR) pacing mode (125 patients, 62.5%) was found to be the most common pacing mode used for pacemaker insertion. Among the 200 patients complications were observed in 8 patients (4%). Of these 8 patients, pneumothorax (4 patients, 2%) was found to be the most common complication for permanent pacemaker implantation followed by local site infection (1 patient, 0.5%). Only 1 patient (0.5%) died during the observation period of the study.Conclusions: Geriatric population with male predominance have observed to commonly undergo permanent pacemaker implantation. Sinus node disease in the elderly patients is the most common indication for cardiac pacing followed by atrioventricular block. Single chamber (VVIR) pacing mode is commonly used followed by dual chamber (DDDR) due to economic reasons in India. Pacemaker implantation is a relatively safe procedure with a low complication rate.

The Impact

Background. Falls and fractures in the elderly are among the leading causes of disability. We investigated whether pacemaker implantation prevents falls in patients with SND in a large cohort of patients.Methods. Patient demographics and medical history were collected prospectively. Fall history was retrospectively reconstituted from available medical records. The 10-year probability for major osteoporotic fractures was calculated retrospectively from available medical records using the Swiss fracture risk assessment tool FRAX-Switzerland.Results. During a mean observation period of 2.3 years after implantation, the rates of fallers and injured fallers with fracture were reduced to 15% and 6%, respectively. This corresponds to a relative reduction in the number of fallers of 75% (P<0.001) and of injured fallers of 63% (P=0.014) after pacemaker implantation. Similarly, the number of falls was reduced from 60 (48%) before pacemaker implantation to 22 (18%) thereafter (relative reduction 63%,P=0.035) and the number of falls with injury from 22 (18%) to 7 (6%), which corresponds to a relative reduction of 67%,P=0.013.Conclusion. In patients with SND, pacemaker implantation significantly reduces the number of patients experiencing falls, the total number of falls, and the risk for osteoporotic fractures.

Sinus Node Disease

Sinus node disease is the commonest bradyarrhythmia, often presenting as syncope or exercise limitation and is an important reason for pacemaker implantation. It is usually idiopathic and a disease of ageing with a peak incidence in the seventh decade of life, but may develop secondary to other conditions including heart failure and chronic endurance exercise. The detailed pathophysiology of sinus node disease remains unknown, studies have found evidence of widespread atrial electrical remodelling, and contemporary research suggests that cellular electrical and fibrotic changes may be important mediators of this remodelling. There is an important association between sinus node disease and atrial fibrillation, and the two arrhythmias often coexist, but the nature of this interaction remains a source of debate. This chapter will summarize the current understanding of the natural history and pathophysiology of sinus node disease, with a focus on remodelling and including discussion of theories that may explain the development of coexistent atrial arrhythmia in these patients.

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Background: Surgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) may disturb the electrical conduction in the atria. This study documents long-term outcomes, including the late occurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia. Methods: This retrospective study covers all PAPVC operations at Aarhus University Hospital between 1970 and 2010. Outcome measures were arrhythmias, sinus node disease, pacemaker implantation, pathway stenosis (pulmonary vein(s), intra-atrial pathway, and/or superior vena cava), and mortality. Data were collected from databases, surgical protocols, and hospital records until May 2018. Results: A total of 83 patients were included with a postoperative follow-up period up to 46 years. Average age at follow-up was 43 ± 21 years. During follow-up, new-onset atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter appeared in four patients (5%). Sinus node disease was present in nine patients (11%). A permanent pacemaker was implanted in seven patients (8%) at an average of 12.7 years after surgery. Pulmonary venous and/or superior vena cava obstruction was seen in five patients (6%). Stenosis was most prevalent in the two-patch technique, and arrhythmia was most prevalent in the single-patch technique. Sixty-seven (81%) of 83 patients had neither bradyarrhythmias nor tachyarrhythmias or pacemaker need. Conclusions: This study contributes important long-term data concerning the course of patients who have undergone repair of PAPVC. It confirms that PAPVC can be operated with low postoperative morbidity. However, late-onset stenosis, bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias, and need for pacemaker call for continued follow-up.
