Brief Summary
The study results will be used to check the hypothesis that CareLink Express remote monitoring system increases the detection rate of asymptomatic AF and allows to change timely the treatment strategy in patients at high risk of thromboembolic events, e.g. anticoagulation therapy onset, electrical cardioversion or/and PVI.

Study Arms (2)
CareLink Express RM system
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients in the remote monitoring (RM) group will undergo the implantation of Ensura DR MRI SureScan pacing system. Patients in the RM group should visit the main follow-up clinic 12 weeks after discharge, and then the device data will be remotely transmitted to the CareLink Express Network at least once in 3 months. Research personnel will contact patients by telephone once in 6 months. If participants indicate they have experienced a study outcome event (corresponding to the study endpoints), the event will be recorded. If remote transmission or telephone call data require to make clinical decision an in-hospital visit will be induced.
Standard follow-up
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients in the control group will receive Adapta DR pacing system without remote monitoring using. All patients from the control group should have the first in-hospital visit 12 weeks after pacemaker implantation. Then, the follow-up will be provided according to the standard guidelines
Interventions
CareLink Express remote monitoring system consists of implantable pacemaker CareLink Express station for implanted Medtronic cardiac devices and provides remote data transmissions
Follow-up will be provided according to the standard guidelines (HRS/EHRA Expert Consensus on the Monitoring of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs): Description of Techniques, Indications, Personnel, Frequency and Ethical Considerations; 2008)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- patients with indications for implantation of dual chamber cardiac pacemaker
- patients with no AF history;
- written informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- patients with contraindications for CIED implantation;
- patients with previously implanted CIEDs;
- infection;
- patients with previously diagnosed AF
