Why the study?
Does permanent pacing improve outcomes in patients with arrhythmias in the absence of heart block?
Does permanent pacing improve outcomes in patients with arrhythmias in the absence of heart block?
Permanent pacing may provide a satisfactory clinical response in select patients with arrhythmias even in the absence of heart block.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support pacing consideration in select arrhythmia cases without block; leaves open need for controlled outcome trials.
Permanent pacemakers are useful in the management of certain patients with arrhythmias in the absence of heart block. Five patients are presented, four of whom obtained a satisfactory response to pacing. Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring by means of a magnetic tape system is useful in diagnosis as well as in the evaluation of the effects of therapy.
