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 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.
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 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.
