Pacemaker or defibrillator pacing strategy to reduce heart timing issues
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a pacing approach for people with a pacemaker or ICD (defibrillator) to help prevent the heartbeats from becoming out of sync. It may be useful if your implant team is trying to reduce pacing-related “timing” problems in the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be planning or having a pacemaker or ICD placed, with the goal of reducing out-of-sync pumping from pacing
- Be able to give informed consent (say yes after understanding the procedure)
- Have a plan for follow-up appointments/data after the procedure

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a newer heart pacing method (left bundle branch pacing) to the standard method (right ventricular pacing) in people who need most of their heartbeats paced. It may help improve how well the heart pumps over time.
This study compares two types of heart pacing—one that mainly targets the heart’s lower chambers versus one that targets the right side—to see which leads to better outcomes for people needing a pacemaker. It may help improve treatment for certain slow heart rhythm problems that require pacing.
This trial tests a pacing approach designed to improve how the heart beats in some people with heart failure and a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. If you already need a device (CRT-D) based on your results, the study may help see whether this pacing correction improves outcomes.
This study looks at whether a high-intensity “His bundle” heart pacing method can help people with heart failure who have a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. It likely aims to improve heart pumping and symptoms in people who are otherwise a good match for an ICD and meet other criteria.
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
This study compares two pacemaker pacing strategies—left-sided “bundle branch area” pacing versus right-sided ventricular pacing. It aims to see which approach better prevents heart failure getting worse and reduces abnormal timing between heart chambers over time.
