Automatic atrial capture device control in real-life practice: A multicenter experience.

Background: Device-based fully automatic pacing capture detection is useful in clinical practice and important in the era of remote care management. The main objective of this study was to verify the effectiveness of the new ACAP Confirm® algorithm in managing atrial capture in the medium term in comparison with early post-implantation testing.

Methods: Data were collected from 318 patients (66% male; mean age, 73±10 years); 237 of these patients underwent device implantation and 81 box changes in 31 Italian hospitals.
