Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study ,the aim of this study is to find factors affecting selection of double-chamber leadless pacemaker in patients with atrioventricular block and ambulatory atrioventricular synchronous pacing status over time using a leadless ventricular pacemaker.

Detailed Description

Traditional pacemakers consist of a pulse generator and leads. Infections of the pulse generator pocket and lead-related complications are unavoidable issues in the application oftraditional pacemakers.Leadless pacemakers have emerged to address complications associated with the pacemaker pocket and leads in specific patients.The initial design of leadless pacemakers focused on single-chamber (right ventricular)sensing and pacing,However, patients with sinus rhythm may experience pacemakersyndrome symptoms due to atrioventricular desynchrony. Furthermore, a high proportion of atrioventricular dyssynchronous ventricular pacing might increase hospitalization rates for atrial fibrillation and heart failure.Recent developments in leadless dual-chamber pacemakersutilize a built-in triaxial accelerometer.This study aims to investigate factors considered by patients with atrioventricular block and clinical pacemaker implanting physicians when make sure the use of Micra AV. 2). It also seeks to evaluate the atrioventricular synchrony of Micra AV pacing in patients during both exercise and rest, while analyzing factors that influence the AV synchrony.For all screened patients, a questionnaire is required to be finished with data including age, gender, occupation, educational level, clinical history, comorbidities, previous infections, history of implanted electronic devices, economic status, and medical insurance conditions. At same time, all physicians are asked to complete a questionnaire for analyzing the factors influencing the decision of device option.An ambulatory electrocardiogram will be performed at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year follow-up after device implantation. Data regarding the proportion of atrioventricular Research Protocol Template (Observational Study)_V1.0_2023.10.04 7/10 synchrony, atrial sensing atrial contraction mechanical wave (A4) threshold, ventricular pacing threshold, sensing, and impedance will be tested and collected. Postoperative exercise related symptoms and adverse events will be routinely tracked.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete the survey questionnair before implanting a pacemaker1 day before implanting a pacemaker

Complete the survey questionnair

The percentage of atrioventricular synchrony at 3 months after Micra AV implantation.3 months post-implant

The percentage of atrioventricular synchrony will be calculated based on the recording of a 20-minute resting period in the outpatient consulting room, via dividing the total number of AV synchronous cycles by the total number of cardiac cycles recoded by a Holter. An AV synchronous cycle will be defined as a paced or sensed ventricular beat within 300 ms following a surface ECG confirmed P-wave.

Secondary Outcome Measures
