Popis: This prospective study analyzed the incidence of atrial arrhythmias in a population of 626 patients in 173 medical centers of eleven European countries and Japan with indication for a dual chamber pacemaker system. The accuracy of the new Automatic Interpretation for Diagnosis Assistance (AIDA) program which is included in Chorus pacemakers was evaluated and the AIDA analysis was compared to and proven with Holter monitoring. Data stored in the pacemakers' memories for the first 24 hours (D1) were compared with simultaneously recorded 24-hour surface electrocardiograms, and data stored over the following 28 days (D28) were examined against reported intercurrent symptoms.
