Why the study?
Does HA pacing reduce the risk of persistent/permanent AF compared to RVA or RVS pacing?
Does HA pacing reduce the risk of persistent/permanent AF compared to RVA or RVS pacing?
HA pacing may be associated with a lower risk of developing persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation compared to traditional right ventricular apical or septal pacing.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant HA pacing consideration to lower persistent AF risk; hypothesis-generating, needs RCTs before practice change.
HA pacing compared with RVA or RVS pacing seems to be associated with a lower risk of persistent/permanent AF occurrence. The risk of persistent/permanent AF was similar in the RVA vs. RVS groups.
