Abstract

Official guidelines for the indications of conventional permanent pacing are being updated periodically as the indications evolve continually. Also nontraditional indications for pacing emerge, such as marked first-degree AV block, malignant vasovagal syncope, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. A critical review and analysis of these indications is undertaken in this review article.
