Testing exercise pacing to improve heart pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether “pacing” your exercise (doing it at the right rate) can improve how strongly your heart pumps. It’s for people with heart failure who have a pacemaker and can safely do an exercise test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure shown by symptoms, ultrasound of the heart, and blood hormone signals
- You have a pacemaker
- You can safely do a peak exercise test (an exercise test pushed to your limit)
- You agree to take part and sign informed consent
- Your recent heart failure care has been stable (no major treatment changes in the last 3 months)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special pacing pattern can strengthen your heart's pumping ability. You may qualify if you have heart failure with a low ejection fraction and already have a pacemaker or defibrillator with an atrial lead.
This trial is for people with a standard pacemaker that stimulates the right ventricle most of the time. It tests whether a newer type of pacemaker (CRT) can improve heart function and symptoms. If you have a weakened heart (LVEF between 35-50%) and your heart failure has gotten worse, this study may be a good fit.
This study tests a new way to pace the heart in people with heart failure who need a pacemaker. It aims to see if this pacing method helps them exercise more easily.
This trial studies a heart pacing approach in people with heart failure symptoms despite preserved heart pumping. It aims to see whether changing heart timing can improve how you feel and how your heart works during exercise.
This study tests whether a special pacing setting during exercise can help improve heart filling pressures in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who already have a DDD pacemaker. If you have HFpEF and a pacemaker, you may help researchers find better ways to manage your condition during activity.
This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
