    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Device Technology

    Context:

    • Pacemaker implantation is a critical intervention for managing bradyarrhythmias.
    • The period 1964-1979 saw significant evolution in pacing techniques and device technology.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the outcomes, complications, and indications for pacemaker implantation over a 15-year period.
    • To analyze the efficacy and safety of different pacing methods: epicardial, endocardial, and combined.

    Summary:

    • A total of 730 pacemakers were implanted in 446 patients between 1964 and 1979.
    • Epicardial stimulation was used in 263 cases, endocardial in 160, and a combination in 23 patients.
    • The study discusses the results, complications encountered, treatment approaches, and clinical indications for these pacing procedures.
