Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the factors influencing the need for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a common complication following the procedure.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 2105 TAVR patients, excluding those with specific complications, to identify predictive models for PPM necessity.
  • Key findings indicate that clinical and ECG factors (like right bundle branch block) are stronger predictors of PPM implantation compared to imaging parameters, with a scaled LASSO model achieving an AUC of 0.70.
