BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the causes of syncope/collapse recurrences in patients with a previously implanted pacemaker for bradyarrhythmic syncope.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the causes of syncope/collapse recurrences after pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmic syncope in a large patient population.
METHODS: The SYNCOpal recurrences in patients treated with permanent PACing for bradyarrhythmic syncope (SYNCOPACED) registry was a prospective multicenter observational registry enrolling 1364 consecutive patients undergoing pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmic syncope. During follow-up, the time to the first syncope/collapse recurrence was recorded. Patients with syncope/collapse recurrences underwent a predefined diagnostic workup aimed at establishing the mechanism of syncope/collapse.
RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 50 months, 213 patients (15.6%) reported at least 1 syncope/collapse recurrence. The risk of syncope/collapse recurrence was highest in patients who underwent implantation for cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope (26.4%), followed by unexplained syncope and chronic bifascicular block (21.5%), cardioinhibitory carotid sinus syndrome (17.2%), atrial fibrillation needing pacing (15.5%), atrioventricular block (13.6%), and sinus node disease (12.5%) (P = .017). The most frequent cause of syncope/collapse recurrence was reflex syncope (27.7%), followed by orthostatic hypotension (26.3%), pacemaker or lead malfunction (5.6%), structural cardiac disease (5.2%), and atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (4.7% and 3.8%, respectively). In 26.8% of cases, the mechanism of syncope/collapse remained unexplained.
CONCLUSION: In patients receiving a pacemaker for bradyarrhythmic syncope, reflex syncope and orthostatic hypotension are the most frequent mechanisms of syncope/collapse recurrence after implantation. Pacing system malfunction, structural cardiac diseases, and tachyarrhythmias are rare mechanisms. The mechanism remains unexplained in >25% of patients.
