The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of life, patient acceptance and exercise capacity with leadless compared to transvenous pacing in elderly patients with new-onset high-grade atrioventricular block. Consecutive patients with high-grade atrioventricular black and preserved sinus node function with indication for permanent pacemaker implantation according to the latest european guidelines, are included in a prospective, partly patient and accessor blinded and partly open label, 1:1 randomized combined parallel and cross-over trial to implantation with 1) a Micra AV Transcathter Pacing System or 2) an Azure XT DR dual chamber pacemaker.
