Building predictions for atrial fibrillation in pacemaker patients
This study creates a database to better predict who with a pacemaker or ICD will develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It may help your care team spot risk earlier and tailor monitoring sooner.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07583823Recruiting
Higher-Rate Pacing for Heart Amyloid Disease
This study tests whether pacing your heart at a faster rate helps people with cardiac amyloidosis (a condition where abnormal protein builds up in the heart). If you have a pacemaker and cardiac amyloidosis, this research might help doctors understand the best pacing settings for you.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07372651Enrolling by invitation
AI screening for heart failure in pacemaker patients
This trial uses artificial intelligence to screen pacemaker patients for early signs of heart failure. It is designed for people who have a standard pacemaker, do not already have heart failure, and have a high amount of right ventricular pacing.
LeedsAges 18 years+ - NCT06656468Enrolling by invitation
Leadless pacemaker study
This trial is studying the results of implanting a leadless pacemaker, a small device placed directly inside the heart to help control heartbeats. It may be an option for people who need a pacemaker.
TricaseAges 18 years+ - NCT06501859Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder pacemaker rehab study
This study tests a device called a shoulder pacemaker to help with recovery after shoulder replacement surgery. It may help you regain strength and movement faster.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–80 - NCT05116722Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder pacemaker for abnormal shoulder blade movement
This study looks at a special “pacemaker” device to help with scapular dyskinesis (abnormal movement of the shoulder blade) and posterior shoulder instability (the shoulder tending to slip backward). It may help people who have these movement and stability problems but not certain other shoulder conditions.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–80 - NCT04926792Enrolling by invitation
Leadless pacemaker registry for patients in Taiwan
This trial is a registry that collects information about people who already received a leadless pacemaker or are planning to get one. It helps doctors better understand how this newer heart device works in everyday care.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT05449119Recruiting
Study links gut health, diet, and thinking and movement in seniors
This study looks at how differences in gut bacteria and nutrition may relate to changes in thinking and movement in people over 75 who have a reduced appetite (“small eaters”). It may help doctors better understand what could be contributing to these problems and how nutrition might play a role.
DijonAges 75 years+ - NCT03847025Recruiting
Lead extraction registry for pacemaker and defibrillator patients
This registry collects information from people who are having pacemaker or defibrillator leads removed. It helps doctors and researchers understand how these procedures are done and what happens afterward.
Portland, OregonAges Any age - NCT06262295Recruiting
Monitoring the safety of AVEIR leadless pacemakers
This study tracks the safety and performance of AVEIR VR LP and AVEIR AR LP leadless pacemakers in people who already have them or will get one. It helps doctors and researchers see how well these small heart devices work over time.
La TroncheAges 18 years+ - NCT05072119Recruiting
Hospital registry to track heart device outcomes
This study keeps a secure record of people who receive a pacemaker, ICD, or implantable loop recorder, to understand how these devices perform over time. If you join, your care team will track your follow-up visits for at least 12 months.
Naples, NapoliAges 14 years+ - NCT02888353Enrolling by invitation
MRI safety check for people with pacemakers or defibrillators
This trial studies whether it’s safe to do MRI scans in people who already have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator (ICD) when they medically need an MRI. It’s for patients who can pass the usual MRI safety screening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 9–100 - NCT03475498Recruiting
ECG and heart ultrasound before and after pacemaker implantation
This study looks at how heart test results—electrical tracing (ECG) and heart ultrasound (echocardiogram)—change after a device is implanted. It may help doctors better predict who develops PICM (a certain pacing-related heart weakening) and how that affects outcomes.
ChungjuAges 20 years+ - NCT06474819Recruiting
Comparing two pacemaker lead placements to protect heart function
This study compares two ways of placing a pacemaker lead to see if one protects your heart's pumping ability better over time. It may help prevent heart muscle weakness caused by pacing.
