Intervention
Clinically oriented device programming (DDDR mode, rate responsive function, algorithms to maximize intrinsic atrioventricular conduction, mode-switch algorithms, autoadaptive management of atrial pacing output, and algorithms for prevention/treatment of atrial tachyarrhythmias)
This consensus document provides specific recommendations for optimal pacemaker programming in patients with sinus node disease to preserve physiological conduction, maximize device longevity, and manage arrhythmias.
Cite This Study
Ziacchi et al. (2018) conducted a review in Sinus node disease. Clinically oriented device programming was evaluated. Optimal pacemaker programming for patients with sinus node disease includes DDDR mode and activation of algorithms for rate response, intrinsic atrioventricular conduction, and mode-switching.
