Structured PICO

What are the indications for pacemaker implantation in patients with congenital heart disease?

Population

Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), including symptomatic children with complete atrio-ventricular block (CAVB), asymptomatic neonates and infants with bradycardia, and post-operative patients with heart block or sinus bradycardia.

Intervention

Pacemaker implantation (including antibradycardia pacing, antitachycardia atrial pacing, and cardiac resynchronization therapy)

Outcome

Prevention of sudden death, improvement of quality of life, and bridge to cardiac transplantation

Cardiac pacing indications in congenital heart disease have expanded beyond preventing sudden death to include improving quality of life and serving as a bridge to transplantation.
