Primary Endpoint:
Secondary Endpoints:
This prospective observational single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the impact of advanced remote monitoring technologies and features, such as the aATP function of BIOTRONIK pacemakers, in conjunction with wireless monitoring via the CardioMessenger 4G or its successors. The study population will consist of patients diagnosed with PAF or atrial flutter who will be/have been implanted with permanent pacemaker devices and CardioMessenger Smart Home Monitoring before joining the study.
Eligible patients will be enrolled through the process of informed consent in the clinical investigational sites across Taiwan with competitive enrollment.
All subjects enrolled in the study will use aATP and HM function of BIOTRONIK pacemakers. During the screen period, the subject's medical history and demographic information will be collected. The baseline data will be obtained prior to the pacing implantation. Depending on the needs of the subject, the screen and implantation procedures may be performed on the same day (within 12 weeks of baseline). Implant data will include features of aATP function, implant technique, and lead positioning. After completion of pacemaker implantation, subjects will be followed at 3, 6, and 12 months or until patient withdrawal or death. During follow-up, a determination/evaluation will be performed based on the data collection from the device system. Unscheduled visit will be arranged after investigator evaluated patient's data via HMSC and judged the clinic visit is needed.
With BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring, medical and technical data is sent from the implanted device to the CardioMessenger. This data is then forwarded to the BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring Service Center via the cellular telephone network.
Investigators who monitor subjects implanted device can review this data from the Home Monitoring Service Center website (HMSC website).
In the study, subject demographics (age, gender, height, weight, etc.) and comorbidities will be collected during the screen period. Implant procedure details and pacing parameters will be recorded. Both primary and secondary endpoints will be collected and evaluated at baseline and follow-up periods.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
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.
