Comparing two types of pacemakers for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a new pacemaker method (CSP) works better than the standard method (BiVP) for people with heart failure who already have a right ventricular pacemaker and need an upgrade.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (LVEF below 50%)
- You have had a right ventricular pacemaker for at least 3 months
- Your heart failure symptoms are moderate to severe (NYHA class II to IV)
- You have elevated NT-proBNP levels in your blood
- Your right ventricle is paced more than 40% of the time
- You are between 18 and 80 years old

This trial is for people with a standard pacemaker that stimulates the right ventricle most of the time. It tests whether a newer type of pacemaker (CRT) can improve heart function and symptoms. If you have a weakened heart (LVEF between 35-50%) and your heart failure has gotten worse, this study may be a good fit.
This trial compares two types of pacemaker placement to improve heart function in people with heart failure. One method paces the heart's natural conduction system, while the other paces the lower chambers of the heart. The goal is to find which approach works better for heart resynchronization therapy.
This trial compares two types of “left-side” heart pacing to see which one works better in people with weak heart pumping. It may help guide the best pacing choice for improving heart function and symptoms.
This trial studies a heart pacing approach in people with heart failure symptoms despite preserved heart pumping. It aims to see whether changing heart timing can improve how you feel and how your heart works during exercise.
This trial compares two types of heart pacing to see which improves outcomes for people with heart failure. It may help those who need pacing to better coordinate heartbeats and relieve symptoms.
This trial tests if a newer pacing method called left bundle branch area pacing works as well as standard cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for people with heart failure and a specific heart blockage (left bundle branch block). It aims to offer an effective treatment option with potentially easier setup.
