Blood flow and heart rate during a heart procedure study
This study looks at how changes in blood flow in the brain relate to heart rate during a specific heart rhythm procedure. It may help doctors better understand how the body’s brain and heart responses connect during temporary pacing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 70 years old
- Have a scheduled elective heart rhythm procedure where a temporary pacing wire is placed in the right atrium
- Have a left heart pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction) of 50% or higher
- Be able and willing to sign informed consent
- Be able to travel to the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta

This study measures how well the heart pumps at different heart rates in people with pacemakers or defibrillators. It may help doctors understand how pacing settings affect heart function.
This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can help doctors understand if treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in active people. It involves people with or without heart devices like ICDs or pacemakers, and may help improve care for active individuals with heart conditions.
This study measures how well blood flows through the heart when the heart rate is increased during a heart procedure. It may help doctors better understand coronary (heart artery) blood flow and how to guide treatment when you need angiography or angioplasty.
This trial studies whether a special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
This study looks at how temporary pacing (a short-term heart rhythm device) affects heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to understand the condition better and may lead to new treatments.
This trial tests a special way to place a pacemaker lead that may improve heart function by pacing the Bachmann bundle, a key electrical pathway between the upper heart chambers. It is designed for people who already need a pacemaker or an ICD with an atrial lead.
