title: [Clinical efficacy of permanent cardiac pacing in patients with bradysystolic forms of disturbances of cardiac rhythm and conduction].
abstract: From 1996 to 2002 primary implantations of pacing systems because of bradysystolic disturbances of cardiac rhythm and conduction had been carried out in 311 patients. Indications were disturbances of atrioventricular conduction in 168 and sick sinus syndrome in 143 patients. According to type of permanent pacing patients were divided into 3 groups: with single-chamber ventricular on demand pacing (VVI, n=215), with single-chamber atrial pacing (AAI, n=39), and with dual-chamber pacing (DDD, n=57). As characteristics illustrating long term clinical results of permanent pacing we used development of the pacemaker syndrome; development of permanent atrial fibrillation; risk of thromboembolic complications and strokes; progression of heart failure; total, cardiovascular mortality and their structure; 7 year survival.
