Brief Summary
Aim of present study is to examine the short and long-term results of pacing from right ventricular apex and to compare them with those of biventricular pacing.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in End Diastolic Diameter of Left Ventricle with the two different ways of pacing (DDD(R)-RV & DDD(R)-BiV)
two years
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Tolerance in the cardiopulmonary stress test, quality of life, LV function and changes of BNP, TNF, interleukin-6, interleukin-12 and oxidant stress.
two years
Assessment of the operation of Left Ventricle at the different pacing types using conductance catheters in a subgroup of patients that will perform a programmed coronary angiography due to investigation of possible coronary artery disease.

Interventions
Subjects indicated for DDD(R) pacing due to AV conduction disturbances and preserved LV function will receive biventricular pacing DDD(R)- BiV
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects between the age of 18 to 75 years with classic indication for permanent artificial pacing in which it is expected very high percentage of ventricular pacing, (pacing systoles constitute the 80% and more of the total).
- Physiologic or mildly affected systolic function of left ventricle, LVEF\> 40%.
- Subject is willing and able to comply with the Clinical Investigational Plan and to remain available for follow-up visits, through study closure.
- Subject (or if allowed by local law/regulations: subject's legally authorised representative) is willing and able to sign and date the study Informed Consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects with classic indication for Biventricular Pacing - (European Guidelines 2007).
- Permanent atrial fibrillation.
- Cardiovascular surgery within the last three months prior to enrollment.
- Myocardial infarction within the last three months prior to enrollment.
