    For sinus node disease (SND), DDI pacing mode is recommended over VVI and AAI modes due to fewer complications. DDI mode avoids issues like atrial fibrillation and bradyarrhythmia seen in other pacing modes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Sinus node disease (SND) presents challenges in selecting optimal pacemaker stimulation modes.
    • Previous studies have debated the efficacy and safety of VVI, AAI, DDD, and DDI pacing modes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of VVI, AAI, DDD, and DDI pacing modes in patients with SND.
    • To evaluate left ventricular function during rest and exercise in dual chamber versus ventricular stimulation modes.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 223 patients with SND, categorized by pacing mode (67 AAI, 87 VVI, 69 DDI).
    • Assessment of hemodynamic performance and complication rates associated with each pacing mode.
    • Investigation of left ventricular function at rest (70 ppm) and during exercise (110 ppm) under different stimulation modes.

    Main Results:

    • VVI mode showed a 55% incidence of atrial fibrillation after five years.
    • AAI mode had a 25% complication rate, including impaired AV conduction and bradyarrhythmia.
    • DDI mode avoids pacemaker-mediated tachycardia, and single ventricular stimulation at high rates impaired left ventricular performance compared to dual chamber stimulation.

    Conclusions:

    • DDI mode presents fewer disadvantages compared to VVI and AAI modes for SND patients.
    • Until rate-responsive dual chamber pacemakers are widely available, DDI mode is the preferred choice for SND management.
