    New atrial electrode placement using a screw-in technique is safe and effective. Atrial-triggered pacing (AAI or VAT) significantly improves cardiac output compared to VVI pacing, with lasting hemodynamic benefits.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Atrial fibrillation and heart block necessitate pacing for hemodynamic stability.
    • Traditional ventricular pacing (VVI) may not optimize cardiac output.
    • Atrial-triggered pacing (AAI/VAT) aims to restore physiological atrioventricular synchrony.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel endocardial screw-in technique for atrial electrode placement.
    • To assess the hemodynamic impact of atrial-triggered pacing (AAI/VAT) compared to VVI pacing.
    • To determine the long-term durability of hemodynamic benefits from atrial-triggered pacing.

    Main Methods:

    • Seventeen patients underwent pacemaker implantation with atrial electrodes placed via a new endocardial screw-in technique.
    • Cardiac output was measured at rest and during exercise using VVI and AAI/VAT pacing modes.

  • Hemodynamic parameters were assessed before implantation and at a 10-week follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • The endocardial screw-in atrial electrode placement was achieved without complications in all 17 patients.
    • Atrial-triggered pacing (AAI/VAT) resulted in significantly higher resting cardiac output compared to VVI pacing (p < 0.001).
    • VAT pacing demonstrated sustained hemodynamic improvements, with cardiac output 20% higher than VVI during exercise, even after 10 weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel endocardial screw-in technique provides a reliable method for atrial electrode implantation.
    • Atrial-triggered pacing (AAI/VAT) offers significant and lasting hemodynamic advantages over VVI pacing.
    • This approach enhances cardiac function and patient outcomes in individuals requiring pacemaker therapy.
