Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the benefit of MVP in pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients with a history of right ventricular pacing.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients implanted with a dual chamber device (including atrial synchronous ventricular inhibited [VDD]) for a minimum time duration of 2 years
  • Planned to be replaced or replaced with a device including the MVP feature
  • Have had more than 40% ventricular pacing documented with their old device over a period of at least 4 weeks before enrollment or device replacement.
  • Pacing should not be caused by a switch to the single chamber pacing (VVI) mode because of battery depletion
  • Have signed the informed consent
  • Have no need to change the pacing mode or the atrioventricular (AV) intervals.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) indication
  • Permanent AF
  • Permanent AV block
  • Inability to complete follow-up visits at a study center.
  • Unwillingness or inability to cooperate or give written informed consent, or the patient is a minor, and legal guardian refuses to give informed consent
  • Planned cardiovascular intervention
  • Inclusion in another clinical trial that will affect the objectives of this study
  • Neurocardiogenic syncope as primary implantable pulse generator (IPG) indication.
