ATA prevention algorithms do not reduce overall ATA burden; challenges routine use and leaves open benefit in low ventricular pacing subgroups.
Does DDD pacing with ATA prevention algorithms reduce the burden of ATA episodes in patients with recurrent paroxysmal ATA implanted with a dual-chamber pacemaker?
Atrial tachyarrhythmia prevention algorithms in dual-chamber pacemakers do not significantly reduce overall ATA burden compared to conventional DDD pacing, except possibly in patients with preserved AV conduction.
