Pacemaker pacing to control heart rhythm in persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to pace the heart to help control irregular heartbeats in people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It may help improve symptoms and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts for more than a week).
- You are scheduled to receive a pacemaker for a standard medical reason.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can provide informed consent (agree to participate) and can read and understand the study information.

This trial tests a temporary pacemaker-like device to slow down a fast heartbeat in people with atrial fibrillation or flutter who can't take or don't respond to heart-rate medicines. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
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.
This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker in people with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) to help keep the heart's pumping strength normal. The research team wants to see if this special pacing method works better at preserving heart function than standard pacing.
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 tests a new type of pacemaker for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for a procedure that disconnects the heart's natural electrical pathway. It may help improve symptoms and heart function.
