Does pacemaker implantation improve outcomes in patients with severe bradyarrhythmias and Stokes-Adams syndrome?
Pacemaker implantation in patients with severe bradyarrhythmias and Stokes-Adams syndrome resulted in no mortality and a high rate of return to social activity.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports pacemaker use in Stokes-Adams syndrome; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
In this paper, indications of pacemaking and its results are discussed form 24 cases of servere bradyarrhythmias with Stokes-Adams syndorme experienced from October 1966 to March 1972. There are no mortality and 87.5% Of all returned to social activity. Postimplantation complications, including pacemaker malfunctions, electrode feilure and abnormally electrical findings during pacing are investigated.

Sakurai et al. (1974) conducted an observational in Severe bradyarrhythmias with Stokes-Adams syndrome (n=24). Pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Return to social activity. Pacemaker implantation in patients with severe bradyarrhythmias and Stokes-Adams syndrome resulted in 0% mortality and 87.5% of patients returning to social activity.
