Key result
The AutoCapture algorithm remained functional in >90% of patients over 1 year, maintaining stable pacing thresholds (0.89 V) and adequate evoked response with no clinical adverse events.

Supports AutoCapture safety in VVIR pacemakers over 1 year; leaves open need for randomized trials before practice change.
Observational (n=398)
Yes
Does the AutoCapture algorithm provide safe and effective automatic adjustment of pacing output in patients with VVIR pacemakers?
The AutoCapture algorithm provides safe, low output pacing with high energy backup in the majority of patients with VVIR pacemakers.
Lau et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Patients requiring VVIR pacemakers (n=398). AutoCapture algorithm was evaluated on AutoCapture performance, sensing and pacing thresholds, polarization signal, and evoked response. The AutoCapture algorithm remained functional in >90% of patients over 1 year, maintaining stable pacing thresholds (0.89 V) and adequate evoked response with no clinical adverse events.
