Key result
A prospective randomized controlled trial is needed to determine whether dual chamber or atrial pacing prevents atrial fibrillation compared to ventricular pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome.
Why the study?
Does an atrial-based pacing system (AAI or DDD) prevent the development of atrial fibrillation compared to a VVI system in patients with sick sinus syndrome?
Does an atrial-based pacing system (AAI or DDD) prevent the development of atrial fibrillation compared to a VVI system in patients with sick sinus syndrome?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The authors propose a randomized controlled trial to definitively determine whether atrial-based pacing prevents atrial fibrillation in patients with sick sinus syndrome compared to VVI pacing.

Lamas et al. (1992) conducted an editorial in Sick sinus syndrome. Dual chamber or atrial pacing (AAI or DDD) vs. Ventricular pacing (VVI) was evaluated on Development of atrial fibrillation. A prospective randomized controlled trial is needed to determine whether dual chamber or atrial pacing prevents atrial fibrillation compared to ventricular pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome.
