Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome is a subgroup within the larger category of sinus node dysfunction. Pacing is often required to treat either the protracted asystolic spells following the spontaneous termination of a paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia or to protect the patient from pharmacologically exacerbated bradycardias. While the optimal pacing mode for this subset of patients remains debatable, recent reports have favored the use of atrial ventricular sequential pacing with intact atrial sensing (DDI). This paper reports our experience with a series of 30 consecutive patients in whom the DDI mode was utilized as part of the management of this syndrome. DDI pacing has been demonstrated to be safe, extremely effective, and easy to use in this group of patients.
