Do leadless pacemakers reduce the incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy compared to transvenous pacemakers in pacemaker-dependent patients?
Leadless pacemakers are associated with a significantly lower incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy compared to traditional transvenous pacemakers in pacemaker-dependent patients.
Incidence of PICM is significantly lower with LP compared with TVP in pacemaker-dependent patients. Age and TVP as pacing modality were predictors for PICM.
