Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation by Optimized Overdrive Stimulation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Bradycardia
Atrial Fibrillation
Registration Number
NCT01912326
Lead Sponsor
Abbott Medical Devices
Brief Summary

Evaluation of dynamic Atrial Overdrive Stimulation using the AF Suppression Algorithm to prevent atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with more than 2% Auto Mode Switch Episodes with optimized pacemaker programming.

Hypothesis:

Dynamic atrial Overdrive (AF Suppression) reduces AT/AF Burden by 30% as compared to programming DDDR-(60) without AF Suppression when all other parameters are optimized.

Detailed Description

Atrial Fibrillation is the most common Heart Rhythm Disorder requiring therapy.
