Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Background and Objective: The implantation of a permanent cardiac pacemaker for bradyarrhythmia management is one of the most commonly performed cardiac intervention. To study clinical profiles of patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation in India. Material and Methods: This was an observational Study. Patients, who received permanent pacemaker for bradyarrhythmias from 1st September 2012 to 30th May 2018, were included in the study .A detailed analysis of demographic profile, and indications was performed. Results: Out of 312 patients, vast majority of patients were elderly; with the majority being in the 56-88 years age group (75%). Males received more pacemakers than females. Syncope was commonest presenting symptom and complete heart block was commonest ECG finding. Acquired A-V block was most common indication of pacing and Single chamber pacemaker (VVI/VVIR) was commonest mode of pacemaker. Conclusion: Our study found that the major indications of pacemaker implantation were found to be acquired A-V block and SSS. Advanced age and male gender were associated with higher implantation rate
