Implication

Supports AV pacemaker durability in long-term follow-up; leaves open predictors of reprogramming in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Population

657 patients with atrioventricular pacemakers

Intervention

Atrioventricular pacemaker

Outcome

Incidence of problems requiring reprogramming of atrioventricular pacemakers and causes for this procedure

In long-term follow-up, atrioventricular pacemakers have a low incidence of complications requiring reprogramming, with the most common causes being pacemaker-conducted arrhythmias and loss of atrial sensitivity/capture.
