Comparing two pacemaker lead placements to protect heart function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a pacemaker lead to see if one protects your heart's pumping ability better over time. It may help prevent heart muscle weakness caused by pacing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are getting your first pacemaker because your heart beats too slowly (due to heart block or slow atrial fibrillation).
- Your heart's pumping strength (LVEF) is above 50% on a recent echo.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- You do not have a serious heart valve problem needing surgery.
- You have not had a heart attack, chest pain, or heart procedure in the last 3 months.

This trial tests two pacing approaches to see which one better prevents weakening of the heart's main pumping chamber. It's for people who need a pacemaker for a slow heart rhythm and are expected to rely on it heavily.
This study compares two ways to place a pacemaker lead to see which one works better for people with a heart block. It may help you have better heart function and fewer complications.
This study compares two types of pacemaker pacing methods in people with heart block and normal heart pumping function. It looks at how often short bursts of fast heart rhythm occur in the upper heart chambers, which may help improve long-term heart health.
This study compares two methods of placing a pacemaker lead to see if one works as well as the other for people who need a pacemaker. It may help improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
This study compares two types of pacemakers: a small leadless pacemaker (placed directly in the heart without wires) and a newer pacing technique called left bundle area pacing. It aims to see which is safer and works better for people who need a pacemaker due to heart block or after a TAVR procedure.
This study compares two different pacing methods for people who need a pacemaker. It looks at how these methods affect the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
