SIGNIFICANCE OF PULSE PRESSURE AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY OF THE PETIENTS WITH PERMANENT CARDIAC PACING

Clinical importance of the pulse pressure (PP) in patients with permanent pacemaker (PM) is discussed in this review. Clinical characteristics, hemodynamic parameters, stimulation parameters, depending on the PP, and the ability to optimize medication with antihypertensive drugs are considered. Implanted pacemaker and CRT are changing the PP, which substantiates the need for additional medical supervision.
