N2 - BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of different pacing strategies to prevent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF): triggered atrial overdrive pacing versus the combination of triggered and continuous overdrive pacing.METHODS: Patients with an indication for dual-chamber pacing (Selection 9000, Prevent AF; Vitatron B.V., Arnhem, the Netherlands) and a history of paroxysmal AF were randomized to triggered atrial pacing (three pacing functions, "triggered group": PAC Suppression, Post-PAC Response, and Post-Exercise Response) or to the combination of continuous (Pace Conditioning) and triggered atrial pacing (four pacing functions, "combined group"). After 3 months, there was a crossover to the other pacemaker setting.RESULTS: In 171 enrolled patients, the median AF burden of the combined group was with 2.1% versus 0.1% in the triggered group (P = 0.014).
