Dual- Vs Single-Chamber Ventricular Pacing in Isolated Congenital Complete Atrioventricular Block in Infancy.
Background: The optimal pacemaker programming strategy for infants with isolated congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) remains unresolved. Dual-chamber pacing maintains atrioventricular synchrony and physiological heart rate variability but increases the burden of ventricular pacing on a myocardium that may be inherently prone to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
Objectives: This study sought to compare clinical outcomes of dual (DDD)- vs single (VVI)- chamber pacing in infants with CCAVB (DAVINCHI).
Methods: A multicenter retrospective study (2006-2023) identified infants with CCAVB and pacemaker implant at <1 year, with single-site ventricular pacing and no significant congenital heart disease. Outcome measured were clinically significant LV dysfunction, mortality, and complications.
Results: A total of 109 infants (64% autoimmune CCAVB) were identified, 60.6% had VVI pacing. Over a median follow-up of 5 years, 60 complications occurred in 47 subjects (43.1%). Smaller infants had more complications. Clinically significant LV dysfunction developed in 11 (10.1%) and was more frequent in DDD (21% vs 3%; P = 0.006). LV dysfunction resulted in mortality in 1 patient and 10 patients required a change in pacing mode. Independent risk factors for LV dysfunction were DDD pacing and neonatal implant. Right ventricular pacing lead placement had a higher HR (HR: 2.67) for LV dysfunction but was not statistically significant (P = 0.2).
Conclusion: DDD pacing increases LV dysfunction risk compared with VVI in infants with CCAVB. Single-chamber LV apical pacing should be considered in infants with isolated CCAVB who require pacing. There is a high risk of pacing-related complications, particularly with an increased risk of ventricular lead complications in low-weight neonates.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology is one of a family of specialist journals launched by the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It encompasses all aspects of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Submissions of original research and state-of-the-art reviews from cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, outcomes research, and related fields are encouraged. Experimental and preclinical work that directly relates to diagnostic or therapeutic interventions are also encouraged. In general, case reports will not be considered for publication.
