Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint of this study is development of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation despite left or right atrial stimulation. The follow up period is 36 months. At specific time intervals patient will be called by the investigator in order to check whether atrial fibrillation has occurred. Patients atrial rhythm will continuously be monitored by Home Monitoring® supplied by the pacemaker manufacturer. | — |
