Sažetak
We have implanted VVI pulse generator in 81 patients. Sixty one had AV bleck III and Mobitz II and 20 patients had sick sinus node syndrome (SSS). Among these 20 patients with SSS 3 had sinus arrest, 12 sinus bradycardia and 5 brady-tachy syndrome. Sincope is more frequent in the patients with AV block than SSS. Episodic atrial fibrillation is more in SSS than AV block. Hypertension and cardiomegaly are more frequent in AV block than SSS. Before implantation heart failure had 21 (34%) patients with AV block and 4 (20%) patients with SSS. After implantation all patients with AV block and SSS have been compensed. During this 5 year study 12 patients with AV block and 2 with SSS died. Noncardiac death was found in 12 patients and cardiac death in 2 patients. Pacemaker implantations treat acute problems and improve the quality of life.
