Overview

May aid AAI candidate selection in sick sinus syndrome; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does transesophageal programmed atrial pacing effectively select patients with sick sinus syndrome for permanent AAI pacing?

P
Population
63 patients with symptomatic (n=58) and asymptomatic (n=5) sick sinus syndrome (SSS)
I
Intervention
Transesophageal programmed atrial pacing (TP) to assess sinus node function and AV conduction
O
Outcome
Selection for and successful implementation of permanent AAI pacing

Transesophageal programmed atrial pacing is a useful method for evaluating Wenckebach point and atrial overexcitability to select patients with sick sinus syndrome for permanent AAI pacing.
