ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It is unclear if the location of implantation of the leadless pacemaker (LP) makes a difference in the incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM).AIM:
The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of PICM based on the location of implantation of LP.METHODS:
A total of 358 consecutive patients [women 171 (48%), mean age 73 ± 15 years] with left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) > 50%, who received an LP (Micra) between January 2017 and June 2022, formed the study cohort. Micra-AV and Micra-VR were implanted in 122 (34%) and 236 (66%) patients, respectively. Fluoroscopically, the location of implantation of LP in the interventricular septum (IS) was divided into two equal halves (apex/apical septum [AS] and mid/high septum [HS]). During follow-up, PICM was defined as an EF drop of ≥10%.RESULTS:
LP was implanted in 109 (34%) and 249 (66%) patients at AS and HS locations, respectively. During a mean 18 ± 8 months follow-up, 28 patients (7.8%) developed PICM. Among the 249 patients with HS placement of LP, 10 (4%) developed PICM, whereas among the 109 patients with AS placement of LP, 18 (16.5%) developed PICM (p = .002). AS location was associated with a higher risk of PICM compared to HS locations (adjusted hazard ratio 4.42, p < .001).CONCLUSION:
AS location of LP was associated with a higher risk of PICM compared to HS placement. Larger randomized studies are needed to confirm our findings.Palabras clave
