Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of life, patient acceptance and exercise capacity with leadless compared to transvenous pacing in elderly patients with new-onset high-grade atrioventricular block. Consecutive patients with high-grade atrioventricular black and preserved sinus node function with indication for permanent pacemaker implantation according to the latest european guidelines, are included in a prospective, partly patient and accessor blinded and partly open label, 1:1 randomized combined parallel and cross-over trial to implantation with 1) a Micra AV Transcathter Pacing System or 2) an Azure XT DR dual chamber pacemaker.
