Coronary angiography investigation before permanent pacemaker implantation is not associated with mortality in a historical cohort with a 1-year follow-up (CorInPace)

The datas investigates the impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) screening via invasive coronary angiography (CAG) on patient outcomes who require urgent pacemaker implantation due to symptomatic bradyarrhythmias. The study compares mortality, hospital readmission rates, and CAD prevalence between patients who underwent CAG and those who did not, revealing that while CAG led to longer hospital stays and delayed pacemaker implantation, it did not significantly affect overall mortality or combined outcomes of death and readmission within one year.
