ABSTRACT
Single-chamber ventricular pacing has been implicated in the development or progression of congestive heart failure in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS). To define the exact role of pacing modality in causation of congestive heart failure, quantitative two-dimensional echocardiographic examination was performed in 51 consecutive patients with SSS who received an initial pacemaker from January 1979 to September 1989 and were free of any structural heart disease at the time of implant. Atrial or dual chamber pacemakers were implanted in 21 patients (Group I) and ventricular pacemakers in 30 (Group II). The two groups were matched for age, gender, paced rate, blood pressure and duration of pacing. After a mean follow-up of 64 +/- 34 months, congestive heart failure developed in one patient in group I and 3 in Group II. Patients in group II, had larger left atrium (41 +/- 5 vs 37 +/- 6 mm, p < 0.05) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (64 +/- 18 vs 54 +/- 12 ml/m2, p < 0.01) but similar left ventricular end-systolic volume (27 +/- 12 vs 24 +/- 9 ml/m2, p = NS), ejection fraction (59 +/- 10 vs 57 +/- 8%, p = NS), left ventricular mass (84.8 +/- 31 vs 85.6 +/- 29.2 gm/m2, p = NS), meridian end-systolic wall stress (48.3 +/- 22.1 vs 49.8 +/- 25 Kdynes/cm2, p = NS) and wall stress/end-systolic volume ratio (1.27 +/- 0.94 vs 1.42 +/- 0.59, p = NS). Pacing mode does not appear to influence left ventricular systolic function in patients with SSS.
