title: [The role of prolonged cardiac pacing in management of secondary bradyarrhythmias based on personal experiences].
abstract: Three patients with bradyarrhythmia who were admitted to the Department for urgent pacemaker implantations are presented. The careful clinical evaluation revealed that these arrhythmias were remarkably secondary to underlying diseases (e.g. severe coronary heart disease, valvular defects). Surgical treatment applied in these cases (coronary bypass grafts, valve replacement) has resulted in successful outcome. We concluded that in some patients the pacemaker implantation alone, without heart surgery, would not be beneficial enough.
