Ultra-high frequency ECG for heart timing problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, more detailed type of ECG (called UHF-ECG) to see if it can better detect uneven electrical timing in the heart. If you are getting your first pacemaker for a slow heart rate or heart failure, this study may help doctors personalize your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and scheduled to get your first pacemaker (including CRT or CSP).
- You have a slow heart rate or heart failure with a specific type of electrical pattern (LBBB, RBBB, or other IVCD).
- You are willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form.
- If you could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test before the procedure.
- You do not already have a pacemaker or defibrillator, and you don't have any condition that makes a standard ECG difficult (like allergies to ECG pads or open wounds).

This trial compares two ways to place a heart pacemaker in patients with an abnormally wide heartbeat pattern. Researchers want to see if a newer pacing technique that targets the heart's natural conduction system works better than traditional pacing methods.
This trial tests how pacing from a specific part of the heart (a “bundle” pacing approach) can affect people with heart failure and/or slow heart rhythms. It may help certain patients whose heart rhythm is too slow or who need a pacemaker and related devices.
This study tests a new heart scan method to help doctors improve pacemaker treatment for people with heart failure. If you already qualify for a special pacemaker called CRT, this scan may make the treatment work better for you.
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 study helps doctors place pacemaker leads in the best location for patients with heart failure and specific heart rhythm patterns. Advanced imaging scans are used to find the area of the heart that will benefit most from the treatment.
This study tests whether optimized pacemaker settings can improve heart function and symptoms in heart failure patients who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat. The goal is to find the best way to program the pacemaker to help your heart work better.
