Cardiovascular Outcomes With Atrial-Based Pacing Compared With Ventricular Pacing
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Several randomized trials have compared atrial-based (dual-chamber or atrial) pacing with ventricular pacing in patients with bradycardia. No trial has shown a mortality reduction, and only 1 small trial suggested a reduction in stroke. The goal of this review was to determine whether atrial-based pacing prevents major cardiovascular events.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A systematic review was performed of publications since 1980. For …
