Study on leadless pacemaker choices and heart rhythm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors affect the choice of a leadless pacemaker and how well it keeps the upper and lower chambers of the heart beating together. It may help people with a specific type of heart block who need a pacemaker.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of heart block that affects the upper and lower chambers (atrioventricular conduction block).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your doctor expects you to live for at least one more year.
- You agree to sign a consent form and share your health information for follow-up.
- You do not have a very weak heart pump (ejection fraction below 50%) if a lot of pacing will be needed.
- You do not have long-standing, irregular upper chamber heartbeats (persistent atrial fibrillation) when a lot of pacing is expected.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 tests how a pacemaker affects blood flow and heart health in people with heart block. It aims to see if special pacing settings can improve how the heart works.
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
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 is testing a new type of single-chamber pacemaker (called ALPs) for people who need a pacemaker due to a slow heart rate (heart block), often with atrial fibrillation. It's a leadless device that is placed directly inside the heart, avoiding the need for wires.
