Why the study?
An aging population has led to patients outliving their pacemakers and requiring more surgical replacements, prompting a demand to improve battery longevity and minimize replacement risks.
This review highlights the importance of pre-implant decisions and smart programming to maximize pacemaker battery longevity and reduce the need for replacement procedures in an aging population.
