[The prospectivity of permanent cardiostimulation for prevention of atrial fibrillation].
Possibility of prevention of atrial fibrillation in patients with permanent pacemakers was analyzed taking into account induction mechanisms. Patients with bradicardiac and ectopic mechanisms of atrial fibrillation induction seem to be optimal candidates for pacemaker therapy. Right ventricular pacing was an independent predictor of arrhythmic events.
