Implication
Supports specific mode-switch and auto-adaptive pacing in AV block with reflex syncope; extends consensus guidelines for device programming.
Structured PICO
What is the appropriate pacemaker programming for patients with atrioventricular blocks and neurally mediated syncope?
P
Population
Patients with bradycardia, specifically atrioventricular blocks (paroxysmal or persistent, isolated or associated with sinus node disease) and neurally mediated syncope (carotid sinus syndrome or cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope)
I
Intervention
Clinically oriented device programming (pacemaker setting) based on patients' clinical features
This consensus document provides specific, clinically oriented recommendations for pacemaker programming in patients with AV block and neurally mediated syncope.
Cite This Study
Palmisano et al. (2018) conducted a review in Bradycardia (atrioventricular blocks and neurally mediated syncope). Clinically oriented pacemaker programming was evaluated. Specific pacemaker programming strategies, including mode-switch algorithms and auto-adaptive ventricular pacing output, are proposed for patients with atrioventricular blocks and reflex syncope.
