Falls and Fractures in the Elderly with Sinus Node Disease: The Impact of Pacemaker Implantation

Falls and Fractures in the Elderly with Sinus Node Disease: The Impact of Pacemaker Implantation

Background. Falls and fractures in the elderly are among the leading causes of disability. We investigated whether pacemaker implantation prevents falls in patients with SND in a large cohort of patients. Methods. Patient demographics and medical history were collected prospectively. Fall history wa...
