Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Device Monitoring
  • Public Health Surveillance

Context:

  • The Danish Pacemaker Register, established in 1982, prospectively collects data on all pacemaker and lead implantations in Denmark.
  • The register includes data from 17,002 patients, providing a comprehensive overview of pacemaker use.
  • In 1994, the pacemaker implantation rate was 314 per million inhabitants.

Purpose:

  • To prospectively register all pacemaker and lead implantations in Denmark.
  • To monitor pacemaker usage patterns, indications, and system choices.
  • To enable rapid detection of pacemaker or lead irregularities.

Summary:

  • Atrioventricular conduction disturbances (46%), sick sinus syndrome (37%), and atrial fibrillation with bradycardia (13%) were the primary indications for pacemaker implantation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Dual chamber systems (41%) and rate-adaptive pacemakers (62%) were frequently used.
  • International recommendations for pacing mode selection were followed in 64% of implantations.

    • Impact:

    • Facilitates timely identification of potential issues with pacemakers and leads due to a short reporting delay from implanting centers.
    • Provides valuable data for evaluating pacemaker implantation practices and adherence to guidelines.
    • Contributes to the ongoing improvement of cardiac pacing therapy and patient outcomes.
