Study summary

The objective of this study is to prove the safety and efficacy of the EVIA pacemaker. Primarily, the newly implemented Atrial Capture Control algorithm is evaluated, which automatically measures the right atrial threshold and subsequently adjusts the pacing output.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy of Atrial Capture Control Feature (Automatic Atrial Threshold Test Minus Manual Atrial Measurement)

    atrial capture control: feature that automatically measures the atrial pacing threshold and subsequently adjusts the atrial pulse amplitude. atrial threshold test: measurable automatically or manually.

    Time frame: 1 month follow-up completed

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complication Free Rate

    Complication free rate (in %): 1 minus(the number of possibly pacemaker related complications divided by the number of patients)

    Time frame: 1- and 3- month follow-up completed
