    Multiprogrammable pacemakers allow noninvasive function adjustments. This 3-year study in 164 patients shows these devices can reduce reoperation frequency in large patient series.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Noninvasive pacemaker function adjustment has been possible since 1962.
    • Multiprogrammable pacemakers offer extensive customization options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the 3-year multicentre experience with a multiprogrammable pacemaker in 164 patients.
    • To assess the utility of multiprogrammable pacemakers in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A multicentre study involving 164 patients over 3 years.
    • Utilized a multiprogrammable pacemaker with over 3000 combinations of five variables: mode, rate, pulse width, sensitivity, and telemetry.
    • Compared advantages and disadvantages of three pacemaker types.

    Main Results:

    • 83% of implanted pacemakers were programmed for medical indications.

  • 100% of pacemakers underwent multiparameter follow-up studies.
  • Multiprogrammable pacemakers demonstrated significant programming flexibility.

    • Conclusions:

    • Multiprogrammable pacemakers offer extensive customization for medical needs and follow-up.
    • The use of multiprogrammable pacemakers can significantly reduce reoperation rates in large patient cohorts.
