The effectiveness of atrial pacing in reducing the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus node dysfunction is incomplete, and the correlation between electrophysiological atrial properties and the effect of permanent atrial pacing has been poorly investigated. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to correlate electrophysiological data, in terms of atrial refractoriness, conduction parameters, and propensity to atrial fibrillation induction, and the likelihood of atrial fibrillation after DDD device implantation.
