Randomized Crossover Comparison of DDDR Versus VDD Pacing After Atrioventricular Junction Ablation for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

DDDR pacing compared with VDD pacing does not prevent paroxysmal AF over the long term in patients in the absence of antiarrhythmic drug therapy after total AV junction ablation. Many patients have permanent AF within the first year after ablation.
