Comparing pacemaker leads to lower atrial fibrillation risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a type of heart block that needs a pacemaker, with at least 40% pacing expected.
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat).
- Your heart’s pumping ability (ejection fraction) is 50% or higher.
- You don’t need any major heart surgery in the next year.
- You agree to be followed for 2 years and can come back for checkups.

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 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 compares two ways to pace the heart in people who have a slow or blocked heart rhythm. The goal is to find which method works better for patients with certain types of heart block.
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 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 tests a new type of pacemaker for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for a procedure that disconnects the heart's natural electrical pathway. It may help improve symptoms and heart function.
