Clinical Observations of Automatic Algorithms for Cardiac Pacing

This study shall evaluate in daily medical practice the clinical results of the AV delay hysteresis search algorithm in patients with a INSIGNIA ULTRA or AVT pacemaker implanted for one of the three following indications: sinus node dysfunction, atrial disease (or bradycardia/tachycardia) and atrio-ventricular paroxysmal block. In addition use and outcome of automatic functions will be evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Dual chamber pacemaker (INSIGNIA ULTRA or AVT pacemaker), implant not older than 60 days, estimated life expectancy more than one year in case of associated illness, Age ≥ 18 years, signed patient information.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Indication for conventional treatment with ventricular resynchronisation or by implantable defibrillator during inclusion, implanted for severe permanent AVB (AVB 2/1 and complete), PR > 250 ms, implant of the device older than 60 days before the inclusion date, Heart transplant foreseen within six months, unexplained syncope.
