Pacemaker type test to reduce heart worsening and death risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 19 years old and can give informed consent
- You can follow the study schedule for visits and tests for a long time
- You are planning to get a pacemaker implant
- Your doctors expect you will be paced in the ventricles more than 40% of the time
- You are able to read/write and participate (not unable due to incapacity)
- You can commit to at least 24 months of follow-up

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 types of pacemaker pacing methods in people with heart block and normal heart pumping function. It looks at how often short bursts of fast heart rhythm occur in the upper heart chambers, which may help improve long-term heart health.
This study tests how a pacemaker affects blood flow and heart health in people with heart block. It aims to see if special pacing settings can improve how the heart works.
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 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.
