Bradyarrhythmias and pacemaker indications in elderly patients

With the dramatic increase in the number of elderly people in most parts of the world and in our country there will be an accompanying increase in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) and atrioventricular (AV) block. For this reason, it will be essential for health care personnel to have a basic knowledge of bradyarrhythmias and the special considerations required for managing these rhythms in elderly patients. Because of frailty of this patient group indivualised approach and consideration for management of these patients must be done carefully. Decision for permanent pacemaker therapy and pacemaker mode selection should be done according to the underlying pathology and patient characteristics.
