AIMS To investigate the indications for system upgrade with single lead atrial pacing (AAIR), complications associated with these re-interventions, and possible predictors for system upgrade among patients included in the Danish Multicenter Randomized Trial on AAIR vs. dual-chamber pacing (DDDR) in sick sinus syndrome (DANPACE). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 707 of 1415 patients were randomized to AAIR pacing. Mean follow-up was 5.5 ± 2.6 years. Information on indications for system upgrade…

Detect Long‐term Complications After ICD Replacement (DECODE): Rationale and Study Design of a Multicenter Italian Registry
TLDR
Assessment of complication rates after ICD replacement in a real‐life setting will help estimate the actual long‐term cost of ICD therapy and assess the real impact of increasing ICD longevity on cost‐effectiveness.
Cardiac Device Infections: A Lesson from the Registries
The number of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations keeps on rising over the years as a result of population growth, increasing life expectancy, and better access to healthcare.

A comparison of single-lead atrial pacing with dual-chamber pacing in sick sinus syndrome.
TLDR
In patients with sick sinus syndrome, there is no statistically significant difference in death from any cause between AAIR pacing andDDDR pacing, and these findings support the routine use of DDDR pacing in these patients.
[Clinical safety and efficacy of single-chamber atrial pacing in sick sinus syndrome: long-term follow-up].
TLDR
The AAI/AAIR pacing mode was safe and effective in sinus node dysfunction, with a low percentage of pacing changes required for progression to atrioventricular block, low incidence of atrial arrhythmias, stroke and low mortality during long term follow-up.
Complication Rates Associated With Pacemaker or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Generator Replacements and Upgrade Procedures: Results From the REPLACE Registry
TLDR
Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator replacements are associated with a notable complication risk, particularly those with lead additions, which support careful decision making before device replacement, when managing device advisories, and when considering upgrades to more complex systems.
Atrial Pacing and the Risk for AV Block: Is There a Time for Change in Attitude?
TLDR
There was no significant difference in follow‐up time between studies that showed a low, compared with a high incidence of AV‐block, and patients with sinus node disease treated with atrial pacing have a low risk of developing clinically important conduction disturbancies.
Atrioventricular conduction during long-term follow-up of patients with sick sinus syndrome.
TLDR
AV conduction, estimated as PQ interval and atrial stimulus-Q interval at atrial pacing rates of 100 and 120 bpm and the Wenckebach block point, remains stable during long-term follow-up and can be recommended to patients with sick sinus syndrome without bundle-branch block.
