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.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
30 days efficacy
Number of successful implantations, defined as the achievement of the planned pacing modality
Rate of hospitalizations for heart failure at 12 months
The investigators considered the worsening of heart failure requiring hospital management
All cause death at 12 months
The investigators will monitor patient's all causes death
Secondary outcomes
All cause and cardiovascular death at 1, 3, 5, 10 years
The investigators will monitor patient's all causes and cardiovascular death
Onset/worsening of heart failure
The investigators will assess patient's hemodynamic stability over the years, monitoring the onset or the worsening of heart failure
Onset/worsening of atrial tachyarrhythmias
The investigators will monitor patient's rhythm over the years, assessing the onset or the worsening of atrial tachyarrhythmias.
Onset/worsening of ventricular tachyarrhythmias
The investigators will monitor patient's rhythm over the years, assessing the onset or the worsening of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
