Currently, PPMs include both transvenous pacemakers (TV-PM) and leadless pacemakers (L-PM). This paper reviews the existing data on L-PM technology including: a) medical aspects and indications, b) patient experience and quality of life (QOL) outcome studies, and c) recommendations for optimizing patient QOL through enhanced knowledge and shared decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Recent Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review includes the seven papers that report on patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in leadless pacemakers and indicate that QOL is as good, if not better, than TV-PM. Existing evidence from descriptive statistics suggests that patients with L-PM report high levels of patient acceptance and satisfaction with esthetic appearance (96%), recovery (91%), and level of physical activity (74%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Leadless pacemakers provide an attractive alternative for the indicated potential patient. The evidence demonstrates the benefits of L-PM such as a minimal implant and lack of leads. Recommendations for future research indicate that electrophysiology-specific metrics are essential and control for the common co-morbidities in the PM population are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11886-025-02228-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,1]],"date-time":"2025-04-01T21:48:48Z","timestamp":1743544128000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Leadless Pacemakers: The \u201cLeading Edge\u201d of Quality of Life in Cardiac Electrophysiology"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7863-3591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel F.","family":"Sears","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1676-7099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth W.","family":"Jordan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4575-6923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeba","family":"Hashmath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7460-4928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maeve M.","family":"Sargeant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0710-2929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Catanzaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0037-7380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajasekhar","family":"Nekkanti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0939-140X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ghanshyam","family":"Shantha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2228_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1015","DOI":"10.1111\/jce.15863","volume":"34","author":"GH Crossley","year":"2023","unstructured":"Crossley GH, Piccini JP, Longacre C, Higuera L, Stromberg K, El-Chami MF.
