Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function, Arrhythmias, and Heart Failure Hospitalizations After Six Months Following Permanent Pacemaker Implantation

Abstract

Background: Permanent pacemaker implantation is routinely employed to manage various cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders. While its immediate benefits in stabilizing heart rhythms are well-documented, the long-term impacts on left ventricular systolic function, and the associated risks of arrhythmias and heart failure, warrant further investigation.
