Combined Efficacy of Atrial Septal Lead Placement and Atrial Pacing Algorithms for Prevention of Paroxysmal Atrial Tachyarrhythmia

Abstract

The combination of three atrial prevention pacing algorithms did not decrease device classified atrial tachyarrhythmia frequency or burden during a 3-month cross-over period in bradycardic patients and septal or nonseptal atrial pacing leads. Prevention pacing was associated with decreased frequency of premature atrial contractions and with decreased symptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmia frequency in patients with atrial septal leads.
