Can aortic valve calcium score predict a need for permanent pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation? by Helene Eltchaninoff, Eric Durand, Christophe Tron, Charles Fauvel, Thomas Barbe, Thibaut Hemery, Guillaume Le Pessec, Najime Bouhzam, Nicolas Bettinger, Julie Burdeau, Jade Makke, Quentin Laissac, Jean-Nicolas Dacher

“…AVCS had an incremental discriminative value (C-index 0.79 vs 0.77, LR test p=0.036) over and above traditional PPM risk factors. An algorithm was proposed based on the initial presence of RBBB, AVCS and the type of implanted valve.Conclusion Even if RBBB remained the strongest predictor of PPM post-TAVI, this study suggests that a high AVCS may help identifying patients at increased risk of PPM after TAVI, especially among those without pre-existing RBBB.…”
