Pacemaker dependency after cardiac surgery is highly variable (32-91%) and lacks a uniform definition, highlighting the need for standardized criteria to identify patients who truly benefit from early implantation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Variability in post-cardiac surgery pacemaker dependency rates warrants cautious implantation decisions; leaves open standardized definitions for future trials.
Steyers et al. (2015) studied this question.
