Background: We studied long-term right ventricular (RV) pacing threshold (RVPT) behavior in patients consecutively implanted with pacemakers capable of automatic output reprogramming tracked by automatic RV threshold measurement (automatic verification of capture [AVC]). Methods: All the patients had state-of-the art steroid-eluting bipolar pacing leads and were RV-paced by an AVC algorithm from the three American manufacturers. Follow-up occurred twice in the first year after implantation, then yearly until approaching elective replacement indicator. Results: Three hundred and twenty-one patients aged 73 ± 12 years were observed for 49 ± 26 months on average. At implantation, RVPT was 0.54 ± 0.2 V at 0.4 ms at an average 774 ± 217 Ω i...
