Recent studies have shown that chronic stimulation of the right ventricle can cause deleterious effects to cardiac function and synchronicity. The occurrence and consequences of this phenomenon in children and young patients with cardiac pacemaker due to advanced atrioventricular block (AVB) are still unknown.
Thus, our aims is to assess the chronic effects of cardiac pacing in children and young patients with advanced AVB and its impact on clinical, functional and echocardiographic parameters.
This is a prospective cohort study that will include patients younger than 18 years-old at initial pacemaker implantation due to advanced AVB.
The design of the study will involve the following stages:
The main end-points are:
