Dual-Chamber Pacing or Ventricular Backup Pacing in Patients With an Implantable Defibrillator

Abstract

For patients with standard indications for ICD therapy, no indication for cardiac pacing, and an LVEF of 40% or less, dual-chamber pacing offers no clinical advantage over ventricular backup pacing and may be detrimental by increasing the combined end point of death or hospitalization for heart failure.
