This study was crosssectional. The sample was patients with CIED and they were processed by nonprobability sampling. The data analysis was showed by frequency, proportion, average and standard deviation for the variables with normal distribution.

The major cause for implantation of CIED was Ventricular Atrial Block, followed by Chagas Disease. The cardiological device most frequent was the cardiac pacemaker. This study stated that there were predominance of Systemic Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, dyslipidemia and previous stroke, respectively. Conclusion: The results provided information about CIED and can be used to implement specialized care to patients. Also, studies in this field are dearth.
