Summary
Complications of cardiac pacing in group of patients with higher age. The vast majority of patiens undergoing permanent cardiac pacing, are patiens older than 75 years. Not only higher age, but frequent associated diseases creates of them a significant risk group, with which we can expect a higher percentage of complications. These patiens often suffer from chronic renal failure, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, autoimmune disease and anticoagulant therapy. From the operational complications we more often find pneumothorax and perforation of the right atrium or the right chamber of the heart. From other complications in group of patients with higher age are more common hematoma, dislocation of electrode, decubitus or infection of the pocket and infectious endocarditis.
