Pacing study for heart failure with low pumping strength
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of pacing the heart (left bundle branch area pacing) in people with heart failure and reduced or mid-range ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart function in patients who already need a pacemaker or resynchronization therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with an ejection fraction (pumping strength) less than 50%.
- You need a pacemaker or cardiac resynchronization therapy (a special pacemaker for heart failure).
- You are 19 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a mechanical valve in the tricuspid valve (the valve between the right chambers of the heart).

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 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 whether a special pacing pattern can strengthen your heart's pumping ability. You may qualify if you have heart failure with a low ejection fraction and already have a pacemaker or defibrillator with an atrial lead.
This study tests a new way to pace the heart in people with heart failure who need a pacemaker. It aims to see if this pacing method helps them exercise more easily.
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 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.
