Impact of Allometric Pacing Rate on Ventricular Diastolic Function and Cerebral Blood Flow in Hypertensive Patients With Sinus Node Dysfunction
The study is a prospective, randomized controlled study in hypertensive patients with a bradycardia indications for pacing therapy and a plan to receive dual-chamber pacemaker. Enrolled patients will be randomized 1:1 into the control group and the allometric-pace group. In the control group, the pacing lower rate will be set to the nominal 60 bpm post a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation as frequently used in clinical practice, while in the allometric-pace group, the pacing rate will be programmed at 75 bpm based on the estimation for Chinese population with a height of 165-170 cm (also called personalized lower rate) or based on the symptom-relief per clinical assessment by the study physicians. Each patient will undergo baseline assessments and 3-month follow-up visits. At the enrollment and office visits, each patient will undergo arterial blood pressure measurement, cardiac functional assessment and cerebral blood flow measurement. At the end of the study, the study physician will adjust pacing lower rate based on patients' conditions and clinical assessments. After the completion of the study, all patients will have regular device follow-up visit, usually 6-month interval or annually.
Each patient will receive the following major assessments: device performance and pacing percentages, ventricular diastolic function by doppler and echocardiography of LVEF, LVEDV, LVESV, stroke volume, cardiac output, arterial blood pressure measurements, cerebral blood flow by MRI or Echo (which one will be determined later by the study PIs), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

실험적: Personalized Lower Rate Pacing Group (75 bpm)
Participants in this group will receive dual-chamber pacemaker implantation per standard clinical practice.
After implantation, the device lower rate will be programmed to a personalized pacing rate of 75 beats per minute according to the study protocol.
Ventricular diastolic function, cerebral blood flow, cognitive function, and blood pressure will be assessed during follow-up.
|
The intervention consists of programming the pacemaker lower rate to a personalized setting of 75 beats per minute (personalized lower rate, PLR), based on clinical assessment.
The control condition uses the standard pacemaker lower rate programmed at 50-60 beats per minute.
No additional procedures beyond routine clinical practice are introduced.

활성 비교기: Conventional Lower Rate Pacing Group (60 bpm)
Participants in this group will receive dual-chamber pacemaker implantation per standard clinical practice.
After implantation, the device lower rate will be programmed to the conventional lower pacing rate of 60 beats per minute.
Outcome assessments during follow-up will be identical to those in the personalized pacing group.
|
The control intervention consists of programming the pacemaker lower rate to the standard clinical setting of 50-60 beats per minute, according to routine clinical practice.
No additional procedures or deviations from standard care are introduced.
