Management of Bradyarrhythmias in Heart Failure: A Tailored Approach.

Management of Bradyarrhythmias in Heart Failure: A Tailored Approach. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2017 Dec 27;: Authors: Masarone D, Ammendola E, Rago A, Gravino R, Salerno G, Rubino M, Marrazzo T, Molino A, Calabrò P, Pacileo G, Limongelli G Abstract Patients with heart failure (HF) may develop a range of bradyarrhythmias including sinus node dysfunction, various degrees of atrioventricular block, and ventricular conduction delay. Device implantation has been recommended in these patients, but the specific etiology should be sought as it may influence the choice of the type of device required (pacemaker vs. implantable cardiac defibrillator). Also, pacing mode must be carefully set in patients with heart failure (HF) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.In this chapter, we summarize the knowledge required for a tailored approach to bradyarrhythmias in patients with heart failure.
