Cardiac pacing review highlights recent advances in expanding indications, mode selection, and rate-adaptive algorithms.
This review summarizes recent advances in cardiac pacing, including expanding indications, pacing mode selection, and rate-adaptive sensors.
May guide pacing decisions in select cases; extends literature but leaves optimal algorithms open for prospective trials.
This article reviews recent studies, chapters, and review articles describing advances in cardiac pacing. Initially we discuss expanding and controversial pacing indications, including neurocardiogenic syncope and hypertrophic as well as dilated cardiomyopathies. Recent contributions to the understanding of factors influencing pacing mode selection are then discussed, including survival and atrial fibrillation in the various modes, the hemodynamic importance of atrioventricular synchrony and adaptive atrioventricular intervals, the importance of rate adaptation, the development of pacemaker syndrome, pacemaker response to the development of atrial arrhythmias, and special pacing modes such as VDD and AAIR. Finally, recent advances in rate-adaptive sensors and algorithms are reviewed, including preliminary results with dual sensors.

Glikson et al. (1994) conducted a review in Cardiac pacing indications. Cardiac pacing was evaluated. This review highlights recent advances in cardiac pacing, including expanding indications, factors influencing pacing mode selection, and developments in rate-adaptive sensors and algorithms.
