Pacing strategy study for certain heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You are already on the best standard medicines for heart failure
- Your ECG shows right bundle branch block (RBBB) (not left bundle branch block) and matches the study’s timing ranges
- You meet the heart failure symptom level and heart pumping strength (LVEF) requirements listed for RBBB patients
- You can get a recent heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) report from within the last year, and you can follow all study steps
- You are not pregnant (or planning pregnancy), not planning a heart transplant during the study, and you do not have a very limited life expectancy (under 12 months)

This trial tests whether a different pacing approach called left bundle branch pacing can improve outcomes and heart structure changes in people who did not improve with standard biventricular CRT. It may help some patients with ongoing heart failure symptoms and weak heart pumping.
This trial compares two types of pacemaker placement to improve heart function in people with heart failure. One method paces the heart's natural conduction system, while the other paces the lower chambers of the heart. The goal is to find which approach works better for heart resynchronization therapy.
This study tests a new way to place a heart device lead to help the heart beat in sync for people with heart failure and a specific abnormal heart rhythm. The goal is to see if this method improves outcomes compared with standard treatment.
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 study compares two pacing methods to help your heart beat in sync. If you need a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, this trial will see if a newer pacing method is just as good as the standard one.
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.
