Atrioventricular (AV) synchrony was evaluated during an ambulatory 24\u2005h period of daily living to determine if its effectiveness can be maintained under real-world conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prospective, single-arm, multicentre clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05252702) evaluated the overall safety and performance of the dual-chamber LPs in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing. Following the 3-month visit, eligible patients wore 12-lead Holter monitors for 24\u2005h while resuming the activities of daily living while under clinically driven programmed settings. Leadless pacemaker diagnostic data were interrogated when patients returned to the clinic. An independent Holter core laboratory adjudicated the proportion of synchronous beats (PR intervals within paced and sensed AV delay bounds). Relationships between AV synchrony and i2i communication success rate, implant indication, heart rate, and AV event type were evaluated. Among 47 analysable patients, mean AV synchrony was achieved in 96.7% of beats, exceeding mean A-to-V and V-to-A transmission success rates of 93.4% and 92.1%, respectively. There were no significant differences in AV synchrony between sinus node and AV block patients. Across all AV paced\/sensed cycle combinations and heart rate ranges (including &amp;gt;100\u2005b.p.m.), AV synchrony was sustained &amp;gt;90% in an ambulatory real-world setting.<\/jats:p>\n
