Aim of present study is to examine the short and long-term results of pacing from right ventricular apex and to compare them with those of biventricular pacing.
In this study all subjects to be studied will have atrioventricular conduction disturbances that require permanent artificial pacing. In all subjects a biventricular pacemaker will be implanted. Moreover the subjects will be randomized in a biventricular or conventional pacing mode and will be observed for a long term period.
