May support VDD systems for reliable long-term pacing in AV block; leaves open need for RCTs before changing practice.
Do single AV lead VDD pacing systems using close atrial dipoles provide reliable long-term pacing in patients with advanced AV block?
Single AV lead VDD pacing systems with closely spaced atrial dipoles demonstrate long-term reliability and stable atrial sensing in patients with advanced AV block.
Ansani et al. (1994) studied this question.
