The purpose of this study is to characterize performance of the MARVEL algorithm downloaded into the MicraTM TPS to provide atrial synchronous ventricular pacing in subjects with AV block.
A sub-study will be conducted within the Marvel study, the purpose of this study is to characterize the MARVEL algorithm in patients who were enrolled in the MARVEL study, and to collect and compare the accelerometer signals and AV synchrony at a second point in time.

- Atrioventricular synchrony [ Time Frame: Initial 24 hour period after patient enrollment ]On an individual heartbeat basis, this is defined as a right ventricular paced or sensed R-wave associated with an ECG confirmed P-wave.
- MARVEL Evolve Substudy [ Time Frame: Initial 24 hour period after patient enrollment ]Characterize the rate of atrioventricular synchrony provided by the MARVEL algorithm and compare the accelerometer signal amplitudes and the AV synchrony provided by the MARVEL algorithm with the data collected during the initial MARVEL procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject has been implanted with, or is expected to be implanted with a MicraTM TPS (Model MC1VR01), with remaining device longevity of 6 years or more.
- Subject is ≥ 18 years old and as per required local law.
- Subject has atrioventricular (AV) block.
