Age-Stratified Clinical Outcome in Patients with Known Heart Failure Who Receive Pacemaker, Resynchronization Therapy, or Defibrillator Implants.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with heart failure (HF) and bradycardia may be eligible for different types of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), depending on the presence of atrioventricular conduction disease, age, and comorbidities. We aimed to assess the prognosis for these patients, after CIED implantation, stratified for the type of CIED device.

Methods

All patients with preexisting HF diagnosis who received a CIED with a right ventricular lead during the period 2005-2018 in Sweden were identified via the pacemaker registry. Data were crossmatched with the population registry and national disease registries. The outcome was 5-year risk of HF hospitalization and mortality.

Results

A total of 37,745 patients were included in the study. Comparing demographics for
