Implication

May support physiological pacing consideration in bradycardia; leaves open large RCTs for outcome confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does physiological pacing improve hemodynamics and clinical outcomes compared to classical VVI pacing in patients with bradycardia?

Population

Patients with bradycardia requiring pacemakers

Intervention

Physiological pacing systems (maintaining AV-synchrony and/or rate adaptation)

Comparator

Classical VVI pacing (fixed rate ventricular stimulation)

Outcome

Hemodynamics of the paced heart (cardiac output, exercise capacity, heart failure course)

Physiological pacing systems offer superior hemodynamic benefits over classical VVI pacing by restoring AV synchrony and adapting to metabolic requirements.
