Cardiac rhythm management devices including pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) can be life-saving and improve quality of life. However, PM and ICD lead malfunction and failure can occur and when severe enough result in recall.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of higher backup pacing rates in HFpEF patients with preexisting pacemaker systems that limit pacemaker-mediated dyssynchrony across left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF). No evidence of heterogeneity was found across LV volumes or LVEF for pacemaker-detected AF burden.

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a common condition resulting in reduced quality of life, syncope, and pacemaker (PPM) implantation, but predictors have not been elucidated.

Guidelines recommend permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) to improve quality of life. Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have many comorbidities including SND, but the optimal treatment approach for HFpEF with SND is uncertain.

Today’s vlog is on the subject of heart failure and in particular on a special type of pacemaker which can make a significant improvement to the quality of life and length of life in patients with heart failure. In addition, the group with the BiV pacemaker were less likely to be hospitalized for heart failure flare-ups.
