Pacing after a heart procedure for rapid atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already have a pacemaker with the special left bundle branch pacing lead.
- You must have had a successful ablation procedure to control fast atrial fibrillation within the last 15 days.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- If you are a woman able to have children, you must use effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test.
- You must be able to do a maximal exercise test (VO2 max test) and have a heart pump function (LVEF) of at least 40%.

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.
This trial tests a combination of heart pacing and a specialized ablation procedure in older adults with permanent atrial fibrillation that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to improve symptoms and reduce hospital stays related to heart failure.
This study tests a new way to pace the heart (using a specific spot called the Bachmann bundle) to prevent new episodes of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people with heart failure who already need a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to keep the heart's rhythm more stable and reduce the risk of future heart rhythm problems.
This trial tests whether a procedure that regulates your heart rhythm (pacing) works better than medication for people who have permanent atrial fibrillation, heart failure with a normal pumping strength, and were hospitalized for heart failure in the past year.
This trial compares two types of pacing for people with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and a weak heart pump (ejection fraction less than 50%). It tests whether pacing the left bundle branch area works as well as or better than standard biventricular pacing to improve heart function.
This trial tests a special way to pace the heart and a procedure to quiet the irregular rhythm in people with advanced heart failure and long-standing atrial fibrillation. It may help improve symptoms and heart function, possibly reducing the need for a transplant.
