The objective of this study is to intra-individually compare the performances of two pacemaker algorithms designed to reduce unnecessary right ventricular pacing: Intrinsic Rhythm Support Plus (IRSplus) and Ventricular Pace Suppression (VpS). The study will compare ventricular pacing percentage, long-term atrio-ventricular conduction time, occurrences of atrial tachyarrhythmic events and atrial fibrillation burden percentage in patients implanted with a pacemaker for Sick Sinus Syndrome.

Unnecessary ventricular pacing is avoided by promoting intrinsic conduction. In case of intrinsic conduction, the device switches from a DDD mode to an ADI mode.
All parameters of the AV hysteresis functions are set in a way to maintain spontaneous AV conduction of the patient's heart as long as possible.
