ENAMORADO ANAYA, Antonio Rafael; GARCIA CANETE, Isolda María; GONZALEZ AGUERO, Marilín  y  GORO, Gaoussou. Clinical and epidemiological characterization of patients with permanent pacemaker implants. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.3, e4378.  Epub 01-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1561-3194.

Introduction:

the implantation of permanent pacemakers follows an upward trend in recent years. The increase in life expectancy implies a higher incidence of degenerative diseases, which cause most implants.

Objective:

to characterize clinical and epidemiologically patients with permanent pacemaker implantation in Cardiology Service at Celia Sánchez Manduley Hospital from January 2017 - December 2018.

Methods:

a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study in patients with permanent pacemakers implantations in the Cardiology Service at Celia Sánchez Manduley Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. The study population comprised 132 patients who underwent this procedure. Absolute frequency, arithmetic mean with standard deviation and percentage calculation were performed.

Results:

the most affected age group was 81-90 (38,6 %) and male sex (52,2 %). The most used route was cephalic vein dissection (52,2 %) and the predominant surgical time was 1 to 2 hours in 60,5 %. There was a prevalence of patients with syncope (58,3%). Thirty-one percent of the indications were for third-degree atrioventricular block. The most frequent complication was infection.

Conclusions:

permanent pacemakers was more frequent implanted in men and in patients between 81 and 90 years old. The most used route was the cephalic vein. The procedure lasted one to two hours. The most frequent cause for admission was syncope. The main indication was in the third degree atrioventricular block. Infection was the most frequent of the complications.
