Mapping how a pacemaker is placed in the heart
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial focuses on testing a new way to map (map out) where a specific pacemaker lead is placed in the heart for people getting left bundle branch area pacing. It may help doctors improve how the pacemaker is implanted and confirm the lead is in the right spot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 88 years old
- You are getting a pacemaker placed using left bundle branch area pacing
- You have not had a heart attack (MI) in the past 3 months
- You have not had a heart procedure to open clogged heart arteries (percutaneous coronary revascularization) in the past 2 weeks
- You have not had open-heart surgery (like bypass or valve surgery) in the past 1 month
- You are not currently very sick or unstable, unless your situation still allows a planned permanent pacemaker

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 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 tests a noninvasive way to map your heart’s wiring and veins to help guide placement of a heart resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. If you have certain abnormal heart rhythm and weak heart pumping, it may help doctors place the therapy more accurately and safely.
This study compares two types of pacemakers: a small leadless pacemaker (placed directly in the heart without wires) and a newer pacing technique called left bundle area pacing. It aims to see which is safer and works better for people who need a pacemaker due to heart block or after a TAVR procedure.
This study tests a new way to guide pacemaker placement using electrical mapping to improve heart pumping in people with heart failure. It may help your heart beat more in sync, which can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead in the left bundle branch area of the heart. It may help people who need a pacemaker to see if this approach is safe and works well.
