ABSTRACT
In recent years, the indications for permanent pacemakers have expanded. The interest has focussed on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and a new entity called hypertensive hypertrophy with cavity obliteration (HHCO). Pacemaker therapy is establishing itself for the prevention of atrial fibrillation. Pacing for neurocardiogenic syncope with newer pacing mode has encouraging datas. Pacemaker for long QT syndrome, after cardiac transplant and for haemodynamic improvement in occasional cases of first degree atrio-ventricular block is getting attention. The AHA and ACC guidelines updated in 1998 for implantation of cardiac pacemakers, now include several of these newer indications.
