About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Sick Sinus Syndrome focused on measuring sick sinus syndrome, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial pacing, high atrial base rate pacing

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Sick sinus syndrome patients having dual-chamber pacemaker
  • Having paroxysmal AF defined as at least 2 episodes of AHR/AMS >190 b/min lasting >6 minutes
  • Having normal atrioventricular conduction

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Other clinical indications for pacing except sick sinus syndrome (bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome)
  • History of acute coronary syndrome
  • Significant heart valve disease
  • Chronic AF before randomization
  • Overt heart failure
  • Malignancy
  • Any reasons for antiarrhythmic medication use
  • Inability to follow patients every 3 months

Sites / Locations

  • Seyyed-al-Shohada Heart Center, UMSU

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

High Atrial Base Rate Pacing

Device Default

Arm Description

The base rate of pacemaker will be determined 75-100 beats/minute in condition that during first step of follow-up, his/her atrial pacing will be more than 80% of atrial high rate/automatic mode switch

The base rate of pacemaker will be determined 60 beats/minute

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Atrial high rate/Automatic mode switch episodes
The number of AHR/AMS episodes recorded by pacemaker

Secondary Outcome Measures

Stroke
The development of stroke during follow-up
Myocardial infarction
The development of MI during follow-up confirmed by ischemic chest pain, 12-ECG, or cardiac enzyme elevation
Heart failure
The development or progression of heart failure during follow-up
Worsening Functional Class
The worsening of functional class
Death
Death

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to determine whether increasing atrial base rate pacing to achieve at least 75-80% atrial pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome undergoing the implementation of dual-chamber pacemaker can be useful to prevent or decrease the atrial fibrillation during 6 months follow-up duration.
