Study 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.

Read the 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.

  4. Consent to sign an form and cooperate in the collection of baseline data and subsequent follow-ups

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients anticipated to have a high ventricular pacing proportion (>40%) and with less than 50%.
  2. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and a high expected ventricular pacing proportion.
  3. Post-tricuspid valve mechanical valve replacement surgery.
  4. Patients with inferior vena cava pathway anomalies, precluding passage of the leadless pacemaker's delivery sheath.
  5. Patients with an expected lifespan of less than 1 year. 6 Patients who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or undergoing cardiac transplantation.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete the survey questionnair before implanting a pacemaker

    Complete the survey questionnair

    Time frame: 1 day before implanting a pacemaker

  2. The percentage of atrioventricular synchrony at 3 months after Micra AV implantation.

    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.

    Time frame: 3 months post-implant

Secondary outcomes

  1. Immediate success rate of Micra AV implantation.
