Key result
DDD rate responsive pacemakers were implanted in 16 patients with 0 technical complications over a mean follow-up of 10.4 months, and 12 of 14 surviving patients remained in the mode.

Are dual-chamber rate responsive pacemakers safe and reliable for long-term physiological pacing in patients with combined sinus node and AV nodal disease?
Dual-chamber rate responsive pacing is a reliable and safe mode for long-term physiological pacing in patients with combined sinus node and AV nodal disease.
Kappenberger et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Combined sinus node and AV nodal disease (n=16). DDD rate responsive pacemakers was evaluated on Technical complications. DDD rate responsive pacemakers were implanted in 16 patients with 0 technical complications over a mean follow-up of 10.4 months, and 12 of 14 surviving patients remained in the mode.
