Coronary Angiographic Profile and Incidence of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Permanent Pacemaker Implantation for Conduction Abnormalities

Our study demonstrates that CAD is common among patients undergoing PPI, with a significant proportion having obstructive CAD despite being asymptomatic. Diabetes and hypertension were identified as key risk factors for CAD in this population. The findings suggest that coronary angiography should be considered routinely in high-risk patients undergoing PPI, as it can identify silent CAD and guide therapeutic decisions, ultimately improving prognosis.
