Our experience with 32 patients with atrioventricular (AV) sequential
pacemakers and an average follow-up of 22 months is presented. The
pertinent literature and physiology are reviewed. The indications,
advantages, and complications of AV sequential pacemakers are analyzed.
Half of the patients required bifocal pacing for control of arrhythmia
alone, while half required control of arrhythmia associated with congestive
heart failure due primarily to a noncompliant left ventricle. It is
anticipated that the hemodynamic improvement occurring as a results of AV
sequential pacing will increase the use of this mode of cardiac pacing in
selected patients.
