| description | <strong>Introduction:</strong> permanent artificial pacemaker implantation improves cardiac function and life quality of patients requiring cardiac pacing. <br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to describe the characteristics of patients undergoing permanent artificial pacemaker implantation and their results, in the period from January 2005 to December 2009 in the General University Hospital “Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima". <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> a descriptive study was conducted. The sample consisted of 300 patients who were implanted with permanent artificial pacemakers in the Cardiology Service of the General University Hospital “Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima" in Cienfuegos, from 2005 to 2009. General data were collected from patients such as diagnosis, pacing mode used, surgical approach and complications. <strong><br />Results: </strong>the predominant age group was that of elderlies over 75 years old, and mostly males were predominant. The main action taken was that of a first implant using the cephalic vein dissection. The most common causes of implant were blocks the atrioventricular conduction and sinus node disease. The type of stimulation used was the VV-VVIR. Major complications included displacement of the electrode, hematomas and the pacemaker syndrome. <strong><br />Conclusion:</strong> the number of patients requiring cardiac electrical stimulation continues to increase in Cienfuegos. Elderly patients and the type of single-chamber pacing are predominant. Good results have been obtained with few complications. |
