VIBRANT Registry: Value of Information Based From Pacemaker Recordings and New Technologies
Summary
The purpose of this study is to collect data from pacemakers and determine how this information is used by physicians to care for their patients with pacemakers.
Description
The purpose of this registry is to gain a better understanding of how diagnostic capabilities in four Vitatron pacemakers (Selection AFm, Clarity, C-Series, and T-Series) are being utilized for the clinical management of a general pacing population. Pacemaker information and health status is collected from all patients enrolled.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Cardiac Pacing, Artificial
Regulation of the rate of contraction of the heart muscles by an artificial pacemaker.
Pacemaker, Artificial
A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external).
Atrial Premature Complexes
A type of cardiac arrhythmia with premature atrial contractions or beats caused by signals originating from ectopic atrial sites. The ectopic signals may or may not conduct to the HEART VENTRICLES. Atrial premature complexes are characterized by premature P waves on ECG which are different in configuration from the P waves generated by the normal pacemaker complex in the SINOATRIAL NODE.
Parasystole
A cardiac arrhythmia that is caused by interaction of two independently initiated cardiac impulses of different rates from two separate foci. Generally one focus is the SINOATRIAL NODE, the normal pacemaker. The ectopic focus is usually in the HEART VENTRICLE but can be in the HEART ATRIUM or the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE. Modulation of the parasystolic rhythm by the sinus rhythm depends on the completeness of entrance block surrounding the parasystolic focus.
Clinical Trials
Master Study for the Investigation of Safety and Efficacy of the EVIA Pacemaker
The objective of this study is to prove the safety and efficacy of the EVIA pacemaker. Primarily, the newly implemented Atrial Capture Control algorithm is evaluated, which automatically m...

The objective of this study is to prove the safety and efficacy of the SIELLO pacemaker leads.
Effect of Closed Loop Pacemaker Treatment on Recurrent Vasovagal Syncope
The main purpose is to prevent syncope in patients with recurrent syncopal episodes caused by malignant vasovagal faints and bradycardia. Patients are treated by a special pacemaker (close...
