Outcomes of single‑lead VDD pacemakers in atrioventricular blocks: The OSCAR study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:VDD pacemakers are regarded as a second choice in patients with atrio-ventricular blocks mainly due to the potential failure of atrial sensing, leading to a loss of atrio-ventricular synchrony. This single-centre study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of loss of atrial sensing and its potential determinants in patients with VDD pacemakers. METHOD:142 patients with an implanted VDD device underwent long-term follow-up with clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram, device interrogation and echocardiogram. RESULTS:Over a long follow-up period [median 110 (68-156) months], 17 patients (12%) in sinus rhythm presented loss of atrial sensing. This was most often intermittent, but three patients required a permanent switch to VVI mode. ECG showed higher prevalence of interatrial blocks (50% vs 26.6%, p = 0.057) and longer P wave duration (116 ± 19 vs 105 ± 15 ms, p = 0.019) in patients with loss of atrial sensing. Echocardiography revealed larger left atrial (LA) volumes (p < 0.05) in patients with loss of atrial sensing, and lower LA ejection fraction (0.40 vs 0.47, p = 0.0037) and expansion index (0.63 ± 0.26 vs 0.90 ± 0.31, p = 0.003). P wave duration on ECG proved to be independently associated with loss of atrial sensing on multivariable analysis (OR 1.062, 95% CI 1.015-1.110; p = 0.008). The prevalence of atrial fibrillation and subsequent switch to VVI mode was high (16%). CONCLUSIONS:In the long-term follow-up, the loss of atrial sensing is present in 12% of patients with implanted VDD pacemakers. ECG and echocardiographic parameters may serve as screening tools for the detection of atrial myopathy which is associated with the loss of atrial sensing.
