The predictors of pacing capture threshold (PCT) exacerbation after leadless pacemaker implantation remain unknown. We analyzed the predictors of poor PCT by identifying risk factors using multivariate logistic regression analysis for 211 patients with leadless pacemaker implantation. Twenty patients met the criteria for elevated PCT levels and were categorized in the poor PCT group. Multivariate analyses revealed that PCT (P < 0.0001) and pacing impedance (P = 0.03) were independent predictors of PCT exacerbation. Elevated PCT levels and low pacing impedance during leadless pacemaker implantation were potential risk factors for the replacement of leadless pacemakers after the procedure.
