Official Title: Evaluation of AV Delay Optimization vs. Intrinsic Conduction in Patients With Long PR Intervals Receiving Dual Chamber Pacemakers for Symptomatic Bradycardia

Brief Summary: This is a randomized, prospective clinical trial to determine the effects of two different pacemaker atrioventricular delay (AV delay) settings on heart function in patients with dual chamber pacemakers implanted for symptomatic bradycardia with long PR intervals (delayed conduction between upper and lower chambers of the heart). The study will compare a long, fixed AV delay (standard) with an optimized AV delay for each individual using echocardiography (experimental).
