title: [Swiss pacemaker statistics for 1984].
abstract: In a study of Swiss pacemaker statistics for 1984, all 34 centres implanting cardiac pacemakers in Switzerland were covered. The number of first implants slightly decreased (218 per million population compared with 230 in 1983). There are some 7500 pacemaker patients in Switzerland, most of the pacemakers being multiprogrammable or programmable. The percentage of physiological systems increased to 10% and in some centres up to 35%. Reintervention for lead problems was necessary in 1.2% of the total pacemaker population.
