1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

aimsA dual-chamber leadless pacemaker (LP) system that employs distinct atrial and ventricular LP devices (ALP, VLP) has been introduced to clinical practice. Proprietary, low-energy, implant-to-implant (i2i) communication at each beat enables the devices to maintain synchronous atrioventricular sensing and pacing. We evaluated device longevities and contributing factors, such as i2i communication. METHODS AND

resultsPatients meeting dual-chamber pacing indications received the dual-chamber LP system as part of a prospective, multi-centre, international clinical trial (Aveir DR i2i Study, NCT05252702). Programming and diagnostics were interrogated from all de novo, non-revised, dual-chamber programmed devices at 12 months post-implant. This analysis included 302 patients (65% male; age 70 ± 13 years; weight 80 ± 19 kg; intrinsic heart rate 55 ± 7 bpm; 58% sinus node dysfunction, 27% atrioventricular block). At 12 months, devices were programmed to dual-chamber pacing (DDD(R) or DDI(R)) at a median 60 bpm rate, median 1.25 V pulse amplitude in ALP and 1.5 V in VLP, median 0.4 ms pulse width, and median i2i signal setting level 5 out of 7. Median ALP and VLP remaining battery longevities at 12 months were 4.3 and 9.1 years, with median total ALP and VLP longevities of 5.3 and 9.9 years. Base rate, pulse amplitude, pacing percentage, event rate, impedance, and i2i setting level all exhibited significant correlations with ALP and VLP longevities (P < 0.001). Programming i2i setting levels below 7 produced the greatest longevity savings.

conclusionThe first dual-chamber LP demonstrated adequate projected battery longevity after 12 months of use. Patient-specific device programming considerations, unique to leadless devices, may extend longevity.
