Abstract
An 80-years-old patient with permanent atrial fibrillation and symptomatic, paroxysmal atrioventricular blocks (AVBs) underwent leadless pacemaker (L-PM) implantation. Seven years after implantation, as a consequence of a progression of the AVB towards a persistent form, resulting in an increased need for pacing, he developed a pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. He then underwent a successful upgrade from L-PM to a transvenous pacemaker (T-PM) with left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP). The L-PM did not interfere with the T-PM and was turned off and abandoned. One month after the upgrading the patient showed a significant improvement in cardiac function and functional capacity.
期刊介绍：
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (PACE) is the foremost peer-reviewed journal in the field of pacing and implantable cardioversion defibrillation, publishing over 50% of all English language articles in its field, featuring original, review, and didactic papers, and case reports related to daily practice. Articles also include editorials, book reviews, Musings on humane topics relevant to medical practice, electrophysiology (EP) rounds, device rounds, and information concerning the quality of devices used in the practice of the specialty.
