Summary

This is a randomized, prospective, single-blinded, multi-center study involving approximately 1500 patients at 100 centers. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) rate adaption technology over both standard rate responsive technology (R) and non-rate responsive mode (DDD) during activities of daily living (ADL).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Implanted within the last 45 days or being considered for implant with a BIOTRONIK pacemaker utilizing CLS rate adaptation technology (currently the Cylos family of pacemakers).
  • Ability to give written informed consent
  • Geographically stable and able to return for regular follow-ups for 12 months after ADL testing
  • At least 18 years old

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients physically limited and unable to perform all or parts of the ADL testing
  • Currently enrolled in any other clinical study
  • Patients with medical reasons that preclude regular participation in the follow-ups
