Heart resynchronization method study for patients with LBBB and heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to resynchronize the heart's pumping in people with heart failure and a specific heart block (LBBB). It uses special ultrasound imaging to see which method works better for improving heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have heart failure symptoms (like shortness of breath) even with medication, and your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is below 35%.
- Your EKG shows a specific type of heart block called 'complete left bundle branch block' (LBBB).
- The wall between the two lower heart chambers (septum) is thicker than 8 mm on an ultrasound.
- You do not already have a pacemaker or ICD, and you do not have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

This study compares different ways of pacing the heart to improve its pumping ability in people with heart failure. It aims to find the best pacing method to help your heart work more efficiently and improve symptoms.
This study tests a new way to place a heart device lead to help the heart beat in sync for people with heart failure and a specific abnormal heart rhythm. The goal is to see if this method improves outcomes compared with standard treatment.
This trial compares two types of pacemaker placement to improve heart function in people with heart failure. One method paces the heart's natural conduction system, while the other paces the lower chambers of the heart. The goal is to find which approach works better for heart resynchronization therapy.
This study compares two pacing methods to help your heart beat in sync. If you need a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, this trial will see if a newer pacing method is just as good as the standard one.
This trial tests a new pacing approach that combines a left bundle branch pacemaker with standard cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for people with heart failure. It aims to improve the heart's pumping efficiency compared to using the left bundle branch pacemaker alone.
This trial tests a pacing approach designed to improve how the heart beats in some people with heart failure and a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. If you already need a device (CRT-D) based on your results, the study may help see whether this pacing correction improves outcomes.
