Strategies to improve atrioventricular synchrony in patients with a Micra AV leadless pacemaker
© The Author(s) 2024. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology..
The second generation of transcatheter pacing systems, called Micra AV, can provide atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacing via a new pacing algorithm relying on sensing mechanical atrial contraction. Several novel programming parameters were introduced to enable AV synchronous pacing, including an A3 window and A4 window as well as a conduction mode switch and an activity mode switch. In addition to several automated features, manual programming optimization of some of the novel parameters is key to improving AV synchrony. A solid knowledge of the features and their programming is essential for electrophysiologists implanting or following patients with Micra AV devices. Differences in programming optimization might partially explain the high variability of AV synchrony published in real-world data reports. This article reviews the key programming parameters of Micra AV. Subsequently, optimal programming recommendations for defined patient profiles are presented. Those were established by consensus within an expert panel comprised of 11 European electrophysiologists from high-volume Micra AV centres. The patient profiles were (1) high degree AV block and slow sinus rhythm; (2) high degree AV block and fast sinus rhythm; and (3) intermittent AV block. The panel recommended to evaluate the mechanical atrial activity on transthoracic echocardiography prior to implant. It was also agreed that Auto A3 Threshold and Tracking Check should be turned off in all patients, AV conduction mode switch should be turned off in all patients with high degree AV block, and the lower rate should be programmed to 50 bpm with exceptions based on individual clinical assessment. Future studies will be useful to evaluate the strength of those recommendations to improve the AV synchrony.
