Permanent Pacing Reduces Blood Pressure in Older Patients with Drug-resistant Hypertension: A New Pacing Paradigm?

As shown in Table 2 , the mean differences in sBP and dBP before and after PP among responders were highly significant, with a decrease from 130 ± 9.8 to 121 ± 10.2 mmHg (sBP), with a mean drop of 9 mmHg ( P < .001), and a decrease from 79 ± 5.8 to 76 ± 7.5 mmHg (dBP), with a mean drop of 3 mmHg ( P < .001).

Similarly, increased atrial pacing supported a greater decline in dBP ( R 2 = 0.04; P = .02; Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.2), which did not quite reach statistical significance.

A relationship between increasing atrial pacing and a decline in sBP was noted but did not reach statistical significance.
