Pre-Existing Pulmonary Hypertension Impact on In-Hospital Outcomes of Cardiac Implantable Electrical Device Implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pre-existing pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with unfavorable in-hospital outcomes in cardiac as well as noncardiac surgeries and procedures. However, its impact on cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations is not established.

Objectives

The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent of pre-existing PH among patients undergoing CIED implantations and to evaluate its effect on in-hospital outcomes.

Methods

Using the National Inpatient Sample database, we identified patients who were hospitalized in the United States between 2016 and 2019 and underwent CIED implantation with a pre-existing diagnosis of PH. Patients with any CIED in situ were excluded. Sociodemographic and clinical data, in-hospital procedures and outcomes, a
