    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Swiss pacemaker statistics from 1984 show a slight decrease in first implants. The study highlights the increasing use of physiological pacing systems and a low reintervention rate for lead issues in the pacemaker population.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Statistics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Cardiac pacemakers are crucial for managing bradyarrhythmias.
    • Technological advancements have led to more sophisticated pacemaker systems.
    • Understanding national pacemaker implantation trends is vital for healthcare planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze Swiss pacemaker implantation statistics for the year 1984.
    • To assess trends in pacemaker technology and patient outcomes.
    • To provide data on the prevalence and management of pacemaker patients in Switzerland.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive survey of all 34 Swiss centers performing cardiac pacemaker implantations.
    • Data collection on first implants, patient population, pacemaker types, and reintervention rates.

  • Statistical analysis of the collected data to identify trends and key metrics.

    • Main Results:

    • A slight decrease in first pacemaker implants per million population compared to 1983.
    • A substantial pacemaker patient population of approximately 7500 individuals.
    • Increased adoption of multiprogrammable or programmable pacemakers, with physiological systems rising to 10% nationally (up to 35% in some centers).
    • A low reintervention rate of 1.2% for lead-related problems in the overall pacemaker population.

    Conclusions:

    • Pacemaker implantation rates in Switzerland showed a minor decline in 1984.
    • There is a clear trend towards the utilization of advanced, programmable pacemaker technology, including physiological pacing systems.
    • Lead-related complications requiring reintervention remain infrequent in the Swiss pacemaker population.
