Although bipolar sensing is recommended and desirable in patients with dual chamber pacemakers (DDD) and intermittent atrial fibrillation (AF) it is a clinical reality that some patients who are given unipolar atrial leads without a prior history of AF may develop intermittent AF during follow-up. It was therefore the purpose of this prospective study to compare the electrogram amplitudes of AF potentials with sinus rhythm P-wave potentials as a relevant factor for appropriate mode switching in dual chamber pacing with unipolar atrial sensing.
