Predicting best lead placement during pacemaker or ICD surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a measurement called 'slew rate' can help doctors find the best spot to attach the leads (wires) from a pacemaker or ICD to your heart. It may lead to more stable and effective placement during your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are getting a new pacemaker or ICD with wires that screw into your heart muscle.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not getting a leadless pacemaker or a subcutaneous ICD (one placed under the skin without wires in the heart).
- You are not having a previously placed pacemaker or ICD wire moved to a new spot.

This study looks at how placing a pacemaker lead (a thin wire) in different spots in the upper heart chamber affects electrical signals. It may help doctors choose the best position for future pacemakers.
This study compares two places to attach the pacing wire (lead) that helps your heart beat regularly. The goal is to find out which location works better for people getting a new pacemaker or similar heart device.
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.
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 creates a database to better predict who with a pacemaker or ICD will develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It may help your care team spot risk earlier and tailor monitoring sooner.
This study compares different ways doctors can place the wires of a pacemaker or defibrillator in the heart. It aims to find which method works best and is safest for patients.
