Does sinoatrial dysfunction develop over time in patients with isolated AV block treated with AV synchronous pacemakers?
In patients with isolated AV block treated with AV synchronous pacemakers, the development of sinoatrial dysfunction is rare over a moderate follow-up period.
Morsi et al. (1998) conducted a cohort in Isolated atrioventricular block (n=58). Isolated AV block was evaluated on Development of sinoatrial dysfunction. In patients with isolated AV block implanted with AV synchronous pacemakers, the development of sinoatrial dysfunction was rare (6%) over a mean follow-up of 30.4 months.
