This is a single-arm, multicenter clinical study evaluating the long-term effectiveness and safety profile of the CE-marked and commercially available Aveir leadless pacemaker systems manufactured by Abbott.
The study is largely based on a standard-of-care protocol, with the exception of an additional 24-hour Holter monitoring assessment in a selected group of patients after one year, as well as a CT scan (at UZ Leuven only) to accurately determine the position of the pacemaker. The aim of this study is to evaluate real-world safety, electrical performance, and clinical outcomes in patients for whom cardiac pacing is indicated and who will receive or have received one of the Aveir™ LP systems:
1. Aveir™ VR LP system, intended exclusively for ventricular pacing
2. Aveir™ AR LP system, intended exclusively for atrial pacing
3. Simultaneous use of the Aveir™ AR LP and VR LP systems for dual-chamber pacing

| single arm population | Experimental | Radiation: CT scan heart; Diagnostic Test: 24 hour ambulatory ECG monitoring | There is only one group of patients. No comparison between different groups. |
Sex: All, ages: 18 Years to any
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants eligible for inclusion in this investigation must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Voluntary written informed consent has been obtained from the participant or their legally authorized representative prior to any screening procedures. 2. Participant is at least 18 years of age, or of legal age of consent, at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF). 3. Participant has a clinical indication for cardiac pacing in accordance with the 2021 ESC Guidelines on Cardiac Pacing1. 4. Participant is willing and able to comply with all study requirements as specified in the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants eligible for this Investigation must not meet any of the following criteria: 1. Subject implanted with an Aveir device on a non-permanent basis (e.g., CIED infection) 2. Subject is pregnant (if required by local law, women of child-bearing potential must undergo a pregnancy test within seven days prior to implant procedure) 3. Subject currently enrolled or planning to participate in a potentially confounding drug or device study during the study. 4. Subject meets any exclusion criteria required by local law (age or other). 5. Subject has life expectancy less than 12 months. 6. Subject is implanted with an electrically active implantable medical device with stimulation capabilities at risk to be impacted by the Aveir Link Module telemetry. 7. Subject has anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the study or to comply with the site standard follow-up visits, for example a mechanical tricuspid valve prosthesis or vein thrombosis, which could impede the delivery of implantable devices as planned by the implanters. 8. Subject is allergic/hypersensitive to <1 mg dexamethasone sodium phosphate.
