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).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at a new way to record electrical signals during a standard pacemaker implant in a specific heart area, which may improve how the device is placed and how well it works for people with slow heart rate or heart failure.
This study looks at how different pacing methods affect heart function using MRI and advanced ECG imaging. It aims to find the best pacing approach for people with slow heart rhythms who need a pacemaker.
This study tests a new heart scan method to help doctors place pacemakers more accurately for people with heart failure. It aims to improve the effectiveness of the pacemaker treatment and may lead to better outcomes for patients.
This study tests a new way to guide pacemaker placement using electrical mapping to improve heart pumping in people with heart failure. It may help your heart beat more in sync, which can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
