Why the study?
Leadless pacemakers offer an alternative to conventional pacemakers, but there is little information regarding their potential quality-of-life benefits.
Does leadless pacemaker implantation improve quality of life compared to conventional pacemaker implantation in patients requiring single chamber pacing?
Does leadless pacemaker implantation improve quality of life compared to conventional pacemaker implantation in patients requiring single chamber pacing?
Leadless pacemakers are associated with significantly better physical and mental quality of life and less procedure-related discomfort compared to conventional pacemakers at 6 months.
