Implication

Supports VDD feasibility for reliable atrial sensing in AV block; leaves open randomized trials vs dual-chamber pacing.

Structured PICO

Does single lead VDD pacing provide reliable atrial sensing and clinical performance in patients with atrioventricular block?

P
Population
31 patients with atrioventricular block (10 females; age 64 +/- 13 years)
I
Intervention
Implantation of a single lead VDD pacemaker system (Intermedics UNITY)
O
Outcome
Clinical performance (implantation parameters, complications) and reliability of atrial sensing via the floating atrial electrodesurrogate

Single lead VDD pacing provides reliable atrial sensing and is an effective alternative to conventional dual chamber pacing in patients with atrioventricular block and intact sinus node function.
