Echocardiographic examination was performed prior to implantation (2.9\u00a0months [IQR 1.0\u20136.0\u00a0months]). Echocardiograms were analyzed for conventional and speckle tracking parameters. We examined time to first event of bradycardia, defined as (a) heart rate &lt;30 beats\/min and (b) \u22654 beats, including sinus arrest, asystole, sinoatrial block, and second\u2010 and third\u2010degree atrioventricular nodal block.
