Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To demonstrate that the Ventricular Intrinsic Preference (VIPTM) and Ventricular AutoCapture (VAC) features allow better RV pacing management, which helps in reducing the long-term incidence of unnecessary right ventricular (RV) pacing in patients with compromised / intact AV conduction.   12 months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Incidence of AV blocks; Percentage of VAC accuracy in ventricular pacing threshold measurements (Manual vs. Auto);Incidence of cardiovascular adverse events;Incidence of device related adverse events; Proportion of patients with symptoms  3, 6 and 12 months

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, multicenter South Asia study. Patient who meets study inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled and all baseline activities will be performed within 15 days post-implant (Enrollment-Baseline visit). Enrolled patients will be randomized within 45 Days post device implant. Data will be further collected at month 3, month 6 and month 12 post implant and at any unscheduled follow-up visits. The study had around 10 centers in India (approximately 70-75 patients) and Bangladesh. The clinical study has been submitted and final report has been submitted.
