TI  - Acute results of permanent pacemaker implantation in Cipto Mangunkusumo General 
      Hospital, Jakarta.
PG  - 19-21
AB  - AIM: To investigate the acute results (parameters at implant and clinical 
      parameters) of permanent pacemaker implantation at our institution. METHODS: 
      Twenty five patients undergoing pacemaker implantation were included in this 
      study. Subjects underwent medical history and functional class was assessed using 
      New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. All technical parameters 
      (pacing threshold, sensing, and pacing impedance) and clinical parameters 
      (complication and procedure time) were measured during and post implant. RESULTS: 
      Majority (80%) of patients were in NYHA functional class II. The commonest 
      indication for pacemaker implant was the complete heart block (56%). The most 
      frequent pacemaker type was single chamber (80%) with the commonest pacing mode 
      of VVIR (72%). Average optimal parameters achieved were pacing threshold of 0.5 
      volt, sensing of 12.6 mV, and impedance of 829 Ohm. Average procedure time was 
      1.6 hour. Major complication (pocket infection) was noted in only one patient. 
      CONCLUSION: It is confirmed from this study that permanent pacemaker implantation 
      could be carried out safely and effectively with low complication rate in a 
      general hospital. Optimal pacing parameters could be achieved in the acute phase. 
      Most patients still could not afford appropriate pacing devices due to limited 
      financial support. Government insurance coverage for the poor should be 
      encouraged to cover more people.
