Introduction: Patients with LV systolic dysfunction and dyssynchrony benefit both with respect to morbidity and mortality from a biventricular device, as confirmed by several large clinical trials. However, patients > 75 years of age have been largely underrepresented. We report a single center experience with biventricular devices in patients > 75 years of age.
Methods: Charts were reviewed for all biventricular pacemaker implants at this site from the year 2004 to the present. 27/90 patients who underwent biventricular ICD implantation were over 75 years old. Baseline characteristics were as follows: Hypertension in 72%, diabetes in 55%, renal insufficiency in 43%, hyperlipidemia in 89%, smoker in 45%, stroke in 14%, ischemic cardiomyopathy in 54%, and AFib or flutter in 25%. Average EF was 30 +/- 4% and QRS duration 150 +/- 18 ms.
