Permanent Pacemakers in Centenarians
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1989We have described six centenarians who have benefited from permanent pacemakers. In all of these patients, their initial symptoms of syncope, presyncope, dyspnea, and transient cerebral ischemic attacks resolved promptly after pacemaker implantation. In most of these patients quality of life, as measured by lifestyle and independence, improved after ...
