About this trial
PACE-AF is a prospective, observational patient registry designed to evaluate the impact of pacemaker algorithms on atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence, progression, and clinical outcomes in patients implanted with dual-chamber pacemakers. The registry aims to include 400-500 patients with longitudinal follow-up. Primary outcomes are progression to permanent AF and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, hospitalization, and cardiovascular events.
