A comparison of single-lead atrial pacing with dual-chamber pacing in sick sinus syndrome
Abstract
AIMS: In patients with sick sinus syndrome, bradycardia can be treated with a single-lead pacemaker or a dual-chamber pacemaker. Previous trials have revealed that pacing modes preserving atrio-ventricular synchrony are superior to single-lead ventricular pacing, but it remains unclear if there is any difference between single-lead atrial pacing (AAIR) and dual-chamber pacing (DDDR).
METHODS AND RESULTS: We randomly assigned 1415 patients …
