Tracking what predicts abnormal heart rhythms after pacemaker
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for patterns that can predict an abnormal heart rhythm called SCAF in people who have a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to help doctors recognize risk earlier and respond sooner if it happens.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker or defibrillator
- Your device was implanted within the last 10 years
- You do not have atrial fibrillation found on a standard heart tracing (ECG) or heart monitoring (Holter/telemetry)
- Your doctor expects you to live at least 2 years
- You are not pregnant and not breast-feeding
- You do not have congenital (from-birth) heart disease or inherited rhythm conditions

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.
This study looks at early changes in the heart related to atrial fibrillation (AF) using health data and biomarkers. It aims to find better ways to predict or understand AF, especially around procedures like ablation or cardioversion.
This study tests a new way to analyze heart signals in people with long-standing atrial fibrillation that hasn't gotten better with medication. It may help doctors understand your heart rhythm better and guide future treatments.
This study looks at how dual-chamber pacemakers affect atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to understand the benefits and risks of this type of pacemaker in managing this condition.
This study compares different computer “analysis methods” that look at real-time heart recordings from people with atrial fibrillation. It may help improve how atrial fibrillation is evaluated during/after an ablation procedure.
This study uses machine learning (computer pattern-finding) to better understand atrial fibrillation and guide care around the time of an ablation procedure. It may help refine how doctors treat certain AF patients based on their heart patterns.
