Pacing to improve heart rhythm in persistent AF
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to pace the heart in people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) who already need a pacemaker. It aims to see if this special pacing method can better coordinate the heart's upper and lower chambers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat).
- You are scheduled to receive a pacemaker because your doctor recommends it.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You can understand this study and give your permission to join.

This study tests a temporary pacing method to help calm the fast heart rate in people with atrial fibrillation or flutter, especially when medications don't work well.
This study is testing two new ways of pacing the heart to see if they can reduce the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It might be a good fit if you need a pacemaker for a slow heart rate but have never had atrial fibrillation before.
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 trial tests whether a procedure that regulates your heart rhythm (pacing) works better than medication for people who have permanent atrial fibrillation, heart failure with a normal pumping strength, and were hospitalized for heart failure in the past year.
This trial studies whether a strategy to regularize (control) heart rate can improve outcomes in people who have permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It focuses on people with recent heart-failure hospitalization and checks several heart, kidney, and health-condition limits to keep the study safe.
This trial tests a new pacemaker placement technique for people with a slow heartbeat (sinus node dysfunction) who need a pacemaker anyway. The goal is to see if this special placement can help prevent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can cause stroke and other complications.
