Why the study?
Does revision to DDI pacing mode improve pacemaker syndrome symptoms in a patient with tachy-brady syndrome on VVI pacing?
Does revision to DDI pacing mode improve pacemaker syndrome symptoms in a patient with tachy-brady syndrome on VVI pacing?
Upgrading from VVI to DDI pacing mode can effectively eliminate pacemaker syndrome and reduce atrial fibrillation episodes in patients with tachy-brady syndrome.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
DDI revision may relieve symptoms in select VVI-paced tachy-brady cases; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
McCormick et al. (1987) studied this question.
