Why the study?
Does physiologic pacing improve clinical outcomes and reduce complications compared to VVI pacing or no pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome?
Does physiologic pacing improve clinical outcomes and reduce complications compared to VVI pacing or no pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome?
Physiologic pacing is recommended over ventricular pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome due to a lower incidence of complications such as atrial fibrillation, thromboembolism, and cardiac death.

May support physiologic over VVI pacing to reduce complications in sick sinus syndrome; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials.
