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 looks at a heart pacing approach to prevent damage to the heart muscle that can sometimes happen after a pacemaker is placed for atrioventricular (heart rhythm) block. It may help some people avoid worsening heart function over time.
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 trial studies a newer pacing method (left bundle area pacing) versus the standard method (right ventricular apical pacing) in people who need a pacemaker for heart block. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
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 trial compares two pacing methods (LBBAP vs RVP) in people with heart block who need a pacemaker. It looks at whether one method reduces the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). To join, you must have a specific type of heart block, never had atrial fibrillation, and have a healthy pumping heart.
