Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The Septal Pacing for Atrial Fibrillation Suppression Evaluation (SAFE) study is a single‐blinded, parallel randomized designed multicenter study in pacemaker indicated patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective is to evaluate whether the site of atrial pacing–‐conventional right atrial appendage versus low atrial septal—with or without atrial overdrive pacing will influence the development of persistent AF. The study will provide a definitive answer to whether a different atrial pacing site or the use of AF suppression pacing or both can give incremental antiarrhythmic benefit when one is implanting a device for a patient with a history of paroxysmal AF.
