Testing left bundle pacing versus usual right pacing
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) is above 35%
- You have a type of heart rhythm block where you will likely need right-side pacing more than 90% of the time
- You have had an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) within the last 3 months and can share the images
- You can agree to take part in the study

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.
This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead inside the heart to help it beat more effectively, aiming to improve heart function and symptoms in people with heart failure and a specific electrical problem (left bundle branch block). If you meet the criteria, this could be an option to discuss with your heart doctor.
This trial compares two types of heart pacing to see which improves outcomes for people with heart failure. It may help those who need pacing to better coordinate heartbeats and relieve symptoms.
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 compares two pacing methods (LBBAP vs RVP) in people with heart block who need a pacemaker. It looks at whether one method reduces the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). To join, you must have a specific type of heart block, never had atrial fibrillation, and have a healthy pumping heart.
This study compares two ways of pacing the heart during a left bundle branch area pacemaker procedure to see which gives better results. It is for people who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat and who are expected to need pacing frequently.
