Long-term survival with ventricular pacemaking: initial 15-year experience

J Kyle, C H Traugh, J Krall

    The American Surgeon
    |March 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pacemaker patients had a 58% five-year survival rate, with younger individuals facing greater life-shortening impacts. Sinoatrial disease patients showed worse outcomes than those with A-V block.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Statistics

    Background:

    • Cardiac pacemakers are crucial for managing heart rhythm disorders.
    • Long-term survival data for pacemaker recipients is essential for clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term survival rates and prognostic factors in adult cardiac pacemaker recipients.
    • To compare survival outcomes between different etiological groups (sinoatrial disease vs. A-V block).

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 380 adult patients who received cardiac pacemakers.
    • Analysis of survival data over a 15-year period (ending January 1, 1977).

    Main Results:

    • Five-year survival rate was 58%; 10-year survival was 38%; median survival was 74 months.

  • Life expectancy approached life-table curves when initial year mortality was excluded.
  • Younger patients experienced a greater reduction in expected survival compared to older patients.
  • Patients with sinoatrial disease had poorer survival than those with atrioventricular (A-V) block.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pacemaker implantation in younger individuals indicates significant life-shortening consequences.
    • Sinoatrial disease appears to be a more critical factor for reduced survival post-pacemaker implantation than A-V block.
