Summary

It is a clinical, observational study to evaluate the correlations among arrhythmias, climatic variables and air pollution in patients with pacemaker and implantable defibrillator (ICD), followed by remote monitoring.

Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that changes in climatic variables, such as temperature, pressure and humidity, and changes of particulate matter \<10µ (PM10), particulate matter \<2.5µ (PM2.5), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are associated with an increase of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine whether changes in variables conditions affect the electrical stability of the myocardium in patients with pacemakers and ICDs.

Population: male and female subjects, aged ≥ 18 years, implanted by a dual-chamber pacemaker, ICD or biventricular ICD (ICD-CRT). A total of 500 subjects from 15 cardiology centers of the Veneto region will be included.
