Interatrial septal pacing to suppress atrial fibrillation in patients with dual chamber pacemakers: A meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials

摘要

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is of frequent occurrence in a population with bradycardia indicated for permanent dual chamber pacing. Whether selective site pacing at interatrial septum(IAS) could better prevent AF as compared with standard atrial pacing (AP) from right atrial appendage or high right atrium in these conditions remains in question. Its safety profile has yet to be elucidated.
