- True or false? Stroke and death are reduced by insertion of a
dual chamber pacemaker in sick sinus syndrome as compared to use
of a ventricular pacemaker.
- Answer: No. There is no statistical difference. A small reduction
in the rate of future atrial fibrillation is seen (5.3% vs. 6.6%).
- Does an asymptomatic patient with a two second sinus pause have
a class I indication for pacing?
- Is an AAIR pacer suitable for symptomatic nonreversible 3rd degree
atrioventricular block?
