![]() ![]() Furthermore, catheter ablation reduced the progression of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. 2.1%, P = 0.009).Ĭonclusion: Catheter ablation for patients with TBS was associated with a significantly lower rate of a composite end point of cardiovascular related hospitalization and thromboembolic events. The proportion of antiarrhythmic drugs and anticoagulants used in the pacing group was significantly higher than that in the ablation group (41.2 vs. The NYHA classification of the pacing group was significantly higher than that of the ablation group (2.11 ± 0.83 vs. Significant more patients progressed to persistent atrial fibrillation in pacing group than in ablation group (23.6 vs. More thrombosis events occurred in the pacing group than in the ablation group (12.7 vs. ![]() Cardiovascular-related hospitalization occurred in 50.9% of the pacing group compared with 14.2% in the ablation group (OR: 4.87, 95% CI: 2.99–7.95, P < 0.001). None of deaths was occurred in ablation group, and 1 death occurred due to cancer. Results: After a median follow-up of 75.4 months, the primary endpoint occurred in significantly higher patients in the pacing group than in the ablation group (59.4 vs.15.6%, OR 6.05, 95% CI: 3.73–9.80, P < 0.001). The second endpoint was progress of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. The primary endpoint was a composite of call cause mortality, cardiovascular-related hospitalization or thrombosis events (stroke, or peripheral thrombosis). Methods: This retrospective study involved 306 TBS patients, including 141 patients who received catheter ablation (Ablation group, age: 62.2 ± 9.0 months, mean longest pauses: 5.2 ± 2.2 s) and 165 patients who received pacemaker implement (Pacing group, age: 62.3 ± 9.1 months, mean longest pauses: 6.0 ± 2.3 s). The risk stratification for atrial fibrillation and outcomes between ablation and pacing has not been fully evaluated. Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, Chinaīackground: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is an alternative treatment for patients with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) to avoid pacemaker implantation.My takeaway from the several sources I read was that a pacemaker for bradycardia does not reduce life expectancy.Rongfeng Zhang † Yue Wang † Minghui Yang † Yiheng Yang Zhengyan Wang Xiaomeng Yin Yingxue Dong Xiaohong Yu Xianjie Xiao Lianjun Gao Yunlong Xia * It's no trouble to check that what you are reading is scientifically derived information from a reputable source. ![]() I'm sorry you had a bad experience but I wouldn not want anyone to get the idea that we shouldn't go looking for answers even when the subject seems uncomfortable or threatening just because we might find some trash writen by people motivated by sensationalism. These were the first two search results that came up! The article title was Pacemaker for slow heart rhythms restores longevity.Įven among the elderly, studies showed women with sick sinus and no heart disease lived significantly longer than other pacemaker recipients. I typed in Life expectancy post pacemaker.Ī 2013 study by European Society of Cardiology showed that pacemaker recipients with bradycardia and no heart disease have the same longevity as anyone else. I was amazed that you and AgentX86 managed to find scary websites so I did the research myself. I can experience extremely high heart rates (Tachy/Brady syndrome) so my outlook may be less certain, especially if my high heart rates cannot be adequately controlled SSS usually gets worse with time although people who have pacemakers implanted to control their arrhythmias generally do very well. The outlook for someone with SSS I was told will depend on the type of arrhythmia(s) present, the age of the person, and any other heart problems that are present. ![]() With my pacemaker I feel almost normal again. Without treatment, my quality of life was poor. I also have SSS and have had it for years and that has been tough on my body and has led to syncope and arrhythmias. Gideon, now that you have the treatment for your condition (a pacemaker) firmly in place, I can see no reason why your life expectancy should be reduced!! Providing you stay healthy and adopt a healthy lifestyle, there is no reason why you should not live a long and happy life with your family. Life expectancy with sick sinus syndrome (SSS) ![]()
