Abstract
<i>Background</i>: Implanted medical devices known as pacemakers deliver electrical pulses to one or more heart chambers through electrodes. This study aimed to evaluate the peacemaker intervention outcomes within the Sudan War 2023-2024. <i>Methodology</i>: The study employed a retrospective descriptive analysis at El-Obeid International Hospital (Aldaman), North Kordofan State, Sudan, covering the period from April 2023 to April 2024. The Authors have collected data on patients who underwent procedures in the catheterization laboratory from 15 April 2023 to 15 April 2024. <i>Results</i>: This study examined 52 patients aged 30 to 85 years, with a mean age of 67 years. Among the participants, 44.2% were males and 55.8% were females. The majority received dual-chamber pacemakers (65.3%), while the remaining 34.7% received single-chamber pacemakers. Only one fatality occurred during the discharge of approximately 98% of the patients, indicating favorable outcomes. <i>Conclusion</i>: Despite conflicts and resource constraints, implantation of pacemakers produces remarkably favorable outcomes without complications. The majority of patients were females who were younger in comparison to international reports.
