Primary Outcome Measures:
  • number of falls in SND patients during one year before versus one year after implantation of a MVPTM pacemaker [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • fracture risk profile and 10-yr fracture risk based on the WHO FRAX index [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • fall rate of recurrent fallers [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • fracture rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • combined CV and mortality endpoint [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • any of the individual cardiovascular endpoints [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • mortality [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: August 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Other: Fill out Questionnaire

    Questionnaire at time of Implantation and 12 months after pacemaker implantation to collect

    • History of falls and fractures during the 12 months before pacemaker implantation
    • Risk markers for falls based on FRAX risk calculator (age, gender, weight, height, history of previous fracture, family history of hip fracture, current smoking habits, glucocorticosteroid intake, rheumatoid arthritis, secondary osteoporosis, alcohol intake)
    • History of falls and fractures during the 12 months after pacemaker implantation
    • Medical and Arrhythmia History
    • Cardiovascular Events
    • Cardiovascular Medication
    • Device programming information
Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to compare the number of falls and fractures in Sinus Node Disease (SND) patients before versus after implantation of a MVP (TradeMark) pacemaker. Further the effect of pacing in the MVP (TradeMark) mode in respect of cardiovascular events is going to be analyzed in the same population.
