the pacemaker syndrome a matter of definition
American Journal of Cardiology, 1997Co-Authors: S. Serge Barold, Kenneth A Ellenbogen, David M Gilligan, Mark A Wood, Carlos MorilloAbstract:Pacemaker syndrome is an iatrogenic disease that is often underdiagnosed. We propose that pacemaker syndrome represents the clinical consequences of suboptimal atrioventricular (AV) synchrony or AV dyssynchrony, regardless of the pacing mode. Clinicians implanting and programming Pacemakers should attempt to optimize AV synchrony to prevent the occurrence of pacemaker syndrome.

effects of permanent pacemaker and oral theophylline in sick sinus syndrome the theopace study a randomized controlled trial
Circulation, 1997Co-Authors: Paolo Alboni, Carlo Menozzi, Michele Brignole, Nelly Paparella, Germano Gaggioli, Gino Lolli, Riccardo CappatoAbstract:Background Pacemakers and theophylline are currently being used to relieve symptoms in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS). However, the impact of either therapy on the natural course of the disease is unknown. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to prospectively assess the effects of Pacemakers and theophylline in patients with SSS. Methods and Results One hundred seven patients with symptomatic SSS (age, 73±11 years) were randomized to no treatment (control group, n=35), oral theophylline (n=36), or dual-chamber rate-responsive pacemaker therapy (n=36). They were followed for up to 48 months (mean, 19±14 months). During follow-up, the occurrence of syncope was lower in the pacemaker group than in the control group (P=.02) and tended to be lower than in the theophylline group (P=.07). Heart failure occurred less often in patients assigned to pacemaker therapy and theophylline than in control patients (both, P=.05), whereas the incidence of sustained paroxysmal tachyarrhythmias, permanent atria...
