Comparing two pacemaker lead placements for heart block
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a pacemaker because your heart's electrical signals are blocked (atrioventricular block).
- It is expected that your pacemaker will be working at least half the time (50% or more).
- You must be able to understand and agree to the study (give informed consent).
- You cannot have persistent atrial fibrillation (a constant irregular heartbeat).
- You cannot have severe heart failure (your heart's pumping ability below 35%).
- You cannot have severe kidney disease, septic shock, advanced cancer, pregnancy, or recent heart sac bleeding.

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.
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 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 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 ways to pace the heart in people who have a slow or blocked heart rhythm. The goal is to find which method works better for patients with certain types of heart block.
This study compares different ways to place a pacemaker wire in patients who need a pacemaker after heart surgery. The goal is to find the best placement to improve heart function and long-term outcomes.
