Five hundred patients to whom definitive cardiac pacemakers were implanted from June, 1978 to June, 1992 were studied. A predominance of males and the age group of 61-80 years was observed. The most frequent reason for seeking medical care was syncope, and III grade atrioventricular block is the most frequent cause requiring this kind of treatment whose etiology was associated with the sclerodegenerative disease of the conduction system. The right cephalic vein was the most used via of approach; among the complications recorded only 2 resulted in death of the patient (perforation of the left ventricle and traumatic pneumotorax.)
对1978年6月至1992年6月期间植入永久性心脏起搏器的500例患者进行了研究。观察到男性居多，年龄在61 - 80岁之间。就医的最常见原因是晕厥，三度房室传导阻滞是需要此类治疗的最常见病因，其病因与传导系统的硬化退行性疾病有关。右头静脉是最常用的植入途径；在记录的并发症中，只有2例导致患者死亡（左心室穿孔和创伤性气胸）。
