title: Management of atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with implantable devices.
abstract: The incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with conduction system disease is high and the management of patients with pacemakers and atrial fibrillation is discussed. The use of mode switch algorithms to avoid tracking of atrial arrhythmias is explained in detail and programming and evaluation of different mode switch algorithms is presented.
