Pacing after bypass for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special pacing therapy that uses your natural breathing rhythm to improve heart function after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help people with weak heart muscles recover better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years or older
- You are scheduled for bypass surgery on a heart-lung machine
- You have heart failure with a low pumping ability (ejection fraction between 20% and 40%)
- You have a normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm)
- Your surgery will include the left anterior descending artery
- You are able to understand and agree to participate

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 compares different treatments—pacing therapy, medications, and catheter ablation—for people who have both atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It aims to find the best way to improve your heart function and quality of life.
This trial tests two types of heart pacing procedures for people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). One approach involves disabling the natural electrical pathway between the upper and lower heart chambers and using a pacemaker to regulate heartbeats; the other uses a special pacemaker that helps both chambers work together. The goal is to reduce symptoms and hospitalizations.
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.
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 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.
