Abstract
Background: Atrial undersensing occurs in a considerable number of patients with single-lead VDD pacing. This study tried to determine the role of implant side in maintenance of the VDD mode in patients with isolated atrioventricular (AV) block. Methods: Eighty-two patients with isolated AV block (46 females; mean age, 58 ± 17 years) received a single-lead VDD pacemaker (Medtronic Kappa, n = 70 and St. Jude Medical Affinity, n = 12). The patients were randomly assigned to one of two implantation groups (group I: right-sided VDD and group II: left-sided VDD). In each group, the P-wave amplitudes were determined at implantation, predischarge, 2-month, and 6-month follow-up. At each follow-up visit, stored event histograms of pacemaker were also retrieved. The atrial sensing measurements were compared between two groups. Results: Implantation was easier from right side (1.7 ± 1.0 vs 2.8 ± 1.7 attempts, P = 0.001). Implant P-wave was higher in group I compared to group II (4.2 ± 1.7 vs 2.7 ± 1.0 mV, P < 0.0001). During follow-up, higher P-wave amplitudes were obtained in group I both at predischarge (2.6 ± 1.3 vs 1.4 ± 1.1 mV, P < 0.0001), 2-month (2.8 ± 1.8 vs 1.3 ± 1.0 mV, P < 0.0001), and 6-month (2.9 ± 1.7 vs 1.3 ± 0.9 mV, P < 0.0001) evaluations but remained stable throughout the 6 months in both groups. After implantation, VDD function was better maintained in group I than group II (100 vs 90, P = 0.026). Incidence of atrial undersensing was lower in group I than group II (P = 0.026) in last follow-up visit. Conclusions: Implant side has a significant influence on atrial sensing performance in single-lead VDD pacing. Thus, right-side implantation should be the preferred approach for the implantation of VDD single-lead systems.
