June 26, 2012—The 2012 HRS/ACCF Expert Consensus Statement on Pacemaker Device and Mode Selection is the first of its kind to specifically address pacemaker device and mode selection, expanding upon the 2008 ACC/AHA/HRS Guidelines for Device-Based Therapy of Cardiac Rhythm Abnormalities. The statement provides a state-of-the-art review of the field and reports consensus recommendations on pacemaker device and mode selection. It is a guide to facilitate the appropriate use of single vs. dual-chamber devices for patients who already meet guidelines for pacemaker implantation.
