Abstract
110 patients with implanted pacemaker were followed up for 1 to 10 yea
rs until a complete atrioventricular block. Permanent pacemaking is ef
fective as it eliminates or reduces many symptoms, prolongs active lif
e, improves quality of life in 81.4% of patients. Some of the patients
were able to resume work.
