Preferences of Patients and Cardiologists Regarding Pacemaker Characteristics in Spain: A Discrete Choice Experiment
MRI compatibility and battery longevity are key factors for both patients and cardiologists in decision-making. Patients also prioritize generator size and replacement processes, while cardiologists additionally focus on safety (infection rates) and technical aspects (CSP and algorithms to reduce unnecessary right ventricular stimulation).
