Measure
RV Pacing Optimization on First, Then Off
Arm 1 is RV pacing optimization on first, then off After baseline measurements, RV DDD(R)-60 with AV optimization (Device is programmed for RV pacing with AV interval optimization at the bedside to produce QRS fusion with the native conduction down the native left bundle on surface EKG) is turned on for 3 months. After the outcome measurements, RV DDD(R)-60 with AV optimization is turned off for 3 months and final outcome measurements are performed. This is a crossover study.
RV Pacing Optimization Off First, Then on
Arm 2 is RV pacing optimization off first then on After baseline measurements, RV DDD(R)-60 with AV optimization (Device is programmed for RV pacing with AV interval optimization at the bedside to produce QRS fusion with the native conduction down the native left bundle on surface EKG) is turned off for 3 months. After the outcome measurements, RV DDD(R)-60 with AV optimization is turned on for 3 months and final outcome measurements are performed. This is a crossover study.
