Background: The present study was intended to be a pacemaker registry for the Critical Care Medicine Department at Cairo University. It is a continuation for a series of similar studies that were conducted in our department . Results: During this period 1307 interventions have been reported: 961 first implants (73.5%) and 346 replacements (26.4%). The total number of patients is lower than interventions because some of them were included as first implants and as replacements after years. In first implant the average age, clinical signs, ECG disorders and pacing modes were described. Data collected in device replacement interventions were pacing modes and cause for replacement. From 2007 to 2013 we have seen a decline in VVI(R) pacing mode in favor to DDD(R) mode. AAI(R) disappeared and VDD(R) modes have remained invariable. Also there was marked increase in biventricular pacing in the last seven years. Finally, we show data on any detected complications or malfunction
