About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing permanent cardiac pacing and to compare procedural efficacy and safety of different implantation approaches in the clinical practice of the participating centres. The contribution of non-fluoroscopic anatomical and electrophysiological reconstruction systems to device implantation procedures will also be evaluated.

Participants \[patients over 18 years old with an indication to receive a definitive pacemaker/intracardiac defibrillator implant\] will receive a permanent cardiac pacing implant as requested according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines; the investigators will evaluate procedural efficacy and safety of different implantation approaches.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Indication for cardiac stimulation

Having performed the implantation of a device for cardiac stimulation

Disqualifiers

Age < 18 years;

Pregnancy status;

Trial population

Patients with an indication for permanent cardiac stimulation who have subsequently undergone an implantation procedure for an implantable electronic device at the Electrophysiology Laboratories of participating centers within a period of 120 months from the time of approval, with a corresponding follow-up period of another 120 months.
