The performance of these devices regarding ambulant AVS is still under debate. In an analysis by Garweg and co-authors, the AM-VP device counter was considered a reliable marker for true AVS and outpatient AVS in a large cohort was estimated to be ~75%. This editorial critically reflects the findings of Garweg et al. In general, evidence is increasing that leadless pacemakers with mechanical sensing provide an adequate degree of AVS in the outpatient setting. Device counters may indeed help to better understand specific programming-related challenges, but important questions regarding their diagnostic accuracy remain.
