Brief summary
This study is prospective Cohort study which was performed in multicenter (General Hospital) in Korea. Inclusion criteria is patients post pacemaker implantation. The purpose is to investigate the occurrence of device detected subclinical atrial fibrillation (atrial high rate episode) in patients post pacemaker implantation and assess long term clinical results.
