Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
-Patients are eligible if they have:
- >1 syncopal spell within 1 year preceding enrollment, and
- bifascicular block on a 12-lead ECG, and
- Age > 50 years and
- written informed consent. Syncope will be defined based on history using a standardized form.
Exclusion Criteria:
-Patients will be excluded if they have criteria related to study strategies, including:
- previous pacemaker, ICD, or Implantable Loop Recorder in situ,
- ACC/AHA/HRS Class I indication for permanent pacing or ICD implantation,
- left ventricular ejection fraction < 35% mandating ICD therapy,
contra-indication to a transvenous pacemaker such as artificial tricuspid valve or active sepsis.
-Patients will also be excluded if a potential competing cause of syncope poses a threat to life, such as:
- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,
- documented sustained ventricular tachycardia or
inducible, sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia on EP study.
-They will be excluded if they have:
- a history of myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to enrollment, and
- a major chronic co-morbid medical condition that would preclude 24 months of follow-up.

Design Details
- Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
- Allocation: RANDOMIZED
- Interventional Model: PARALLEL
- Masking: NONE
Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: implantable loop recorder
|
The implantable loop recorder will be programmed for automatic detection using settings of Low Heart Rate <50 bpm, High Heart Rate >165 bpm, and Pause > 3 seconds.
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: pacemaker
|
A single or dual chamber pacemaker will be implanted according to the manufacturer's instructions for use with standard techniques. Either a single or dual chamber pacemaker will be permitted according to local practice unless the patient is in chronic or persistent atrial fibrillation, in which case a single chamber pacemaker will be used. The pacemaker configuration will be at the discretion of the investigator. Single chamber ventricular pacemakers will be programmed to activity responsiveness off in VVI mode, rates 50-120 bpm. Dual chamber pacemaker programming will be to DDD mode (50-120) with mode switch on. |
What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The primary outcome measure will be a composite of Major Adverse Study-Related Events (MASRE) in a 2-year observation period.
Time Frame: 2 years
|
MASRE will capture the major consequences ensuing from both strategies, including 1) syncope, 2) symptomatic bradycardias, 3) asymptomatic complete heart block, 4) acute and chronic pacemaker and ILR complications, and 5) death.
|
2 years
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Time Frame |
---|---|
Secondary outcome measures will include total number of syncopal spells.
Time Frame: 2 years
|
2 years
|
Secondary outcome measures will include the likelihood of a first recurrence of syncope.
Time Frame: 2 years
|
2 years
|
Secondary outcome measures will include the physical trauma due to syncope.
Time Frame: 2 years
|
2 years
|
Secondary outcome measures will include quality of life of the participants.
