Chronic right ventricular pacing has a deleterious effect on left ventricular (LV) function, namely pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM). Several parametes make difference of effect on the occurrence of PICM and its subsequent clinical outcomes. In particular, recognition of a major determinant focused on the ECG or echocardiographic parameters including strain or genetic factor for occurrence of PICM may lead to better identification of patients at high risk. Investigators prospectively enroll a participant with documented high risk of PICM and clinically follow-up to idenify clinical impact of PICM (PICM syndrome) over a long period of time.
Willng to participate in the study and able to sign informed consent
Undertaken ECG and echocardiogram including strain before and after device implantation
Less than 18 years of age
Being pregnant or plan to become pregnant
Advanced heart failure waiting in heart transplantation
Have a life expectancy of less than 1 year
The study will enroll at least 1000 device patients from multi-centers in order to identify and assess a determinant of PICM and its clinical outcomes (PICM syndrome)
