Long-term mortality and treatment outcomes in pacemaker-associated heart failure: insights from a nationwide propensity-matched study
In this nationwide real-world cohort, CRT-upgrade was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause mortality compared with medical therapy alone in patients with PaHF. These findings support the prognostic importance of device-based therapy in combination with contemporary HF medical treatment in real-world clinical practice.
