Imaging after a heart device to optimize pacing settings
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a heart MRI (a special scan) to better map the heart’s electrical activity, with the goal of fine-tuning settings on your implanted pacing device. It’s meant to improve how well the device coordinates your heartbeat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You already have a CRT-D or CRT-P implanted (a pacemaker/defibrillator type for heart rhythm).
- Your specific device must support SyncAV® programming software.
- You need a left bundle branch block diagnosis before the CRT was implanted.
- Before your implant, your PQ interval on your ECG must be 250 milliseconds or less.
- You must be able to safely have a cardiac MRI (for example, no severe claustrophobia).

This study uses MRI scans to see how different pacing methods affect your heart's performance. It may help doctors choose the best pacing for you if you need a pacemaker for certain heart block conditions.
This study tests a new heart scan method to help doctors improve pacemaker treatment for people with heart failure. If you already qualify for a special pacemaker called CRT, this scan may make the treatment work better for you.
This study helps doctors place pacemaker leads in the best location for patients with heart failure and specific heart rhythm patterns. Advanced imaging scans are used to find the area of the heart that will benefit most from the treatment.
This trial tests a heart device (CRT) that coordinates your heart's contractions, combined with a new electrical mapping technique to place leads more precisely. It's designed for people with weak heart function and abnormal electrical patterns who haven't improved enough with medications alone.
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 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.
