Risk factors and incidence of new-onset heart failure with conventional pacemaker implant: A nationwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have shown that the risk of new-onset heart failure (HF) is higher postimplantation for patients receiving right ventricular pacing.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate incidence, risk factors, and implications for long-term prognosis of new-onset HF in patients after pacemaker implantation.

Methods

Patients without pre-existing HF who received a pacemaker in Sweden during the period of 2005 to 2020 were identified via the nationwide Pacemaker Registry. Data were crossmatched with the population registry and national disease registries. The primary outcome was new-onset HF within 5 years, and a risk score for this was developed and validated.

Results

In all, 65,579 patients met the inclusion criteria (10,351 single-chamber ventricular a
