Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine which of 4 lead positions is most effective for pacemaker patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome in order to avoid development of atrial fibrillation
Detailed Description: The incidence of Atrial Fibrillation AF in Sick Sinus Syndrome patients treated with pacing is quite high As AF can cause dizziness fatigue thromboembolism and ischemic stroke it is clinically relevant Due to earlier publications pacing modes and lead placement seem to influence the incidence of AF In this study the incidence of AF will be compared between 4 different atrial lead positions

1 Free atrial wall
2 right atrial appendage
3 coronary sinus-os
4 Dual site right atrial pacing b plus c

The following primary parameters will be evaluated during the study period of 2 years after implantation

1 Amounts of AF episodes with a duration of 48 hours
2 Amounts of AF episodes with a duration of 30 minutes
3 Consultations of physicians due to AF Secondarily AF burden Incidence of AF in total Quality of Life implant duration and complications will be evaluated
