title: [Swiss pacemaker statistics of the year 1982].
abstract: The data of 96% of pacemaker implantations in Switzerland is analyzed and compared with previous years. The numbers of first implantations slightly increased to 216 per million population per year. The percentage breakdown of the various indications remain unchanged. Two thirds of the pacemakers implanted were multiprogrammable. Implantation of physiologic pacemakers has increased to 8.8% in recent years. Complications requiring reintervention decreased despite the increase in first implantations.
