Plain-language summary
This prospective, un-blinded, randomized, noninferiority, single centre study with 12 month follow-up included patients who were scheduled for a single-chamber PM implant. Patients were 1:1 randomized to undergo the implantation of a conventional VVI pacing system (Medtronic, Advisa ADSR03) with a ventricular pacing lead (Medtronic, 5076-58) in the right ventricle (called 'conventional group') or to be implanted with a leadless Micra TPS (called 'Micra group').
The primary objective was to assess and compare the mechanical impact of right ventricular pacing using the Micra TPS versus a conventional PM on the left ventricular function.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients with a Class I or II indication for single chamber pacemaker following international guidelines
Exclusion Criteria:
* patients with previously implanted cardiac devices / mechanical valves that would interfere with the echocardiographic measurements
* patients with inadequate image quality at baseline that prohibited the assessment of myocardial mechanics using echocardiography
* patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40% at baseline
* patients considered to have a pre-existing condition challenging/precluding the implant of a conventional pacemaker
* patients who refused or were not able to provide written informed consent.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
