Pacemaker study using less X-ray imaging
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker that uses less X-ray (fluoroscopy). It might be a good option if you need a pacemaker for a slow or blocked heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a pacemaker because your heart has a slow or blocked rhythm, like heart block or bundle branch block.
- You are between 18 and 100 years old.
- You are able to understand and agree to take part in the study.
- You are not pregnant (female patients of childbearing age will have a pregnancy test before the procedure).

This trial is testing a special way to pace the heart's natural electrical system, which may help people who need a pacemaker for certain heart-block conditions or for heart failure treatment. It aims to make pacing work better.
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 study looks at a heart pacing approach to prevent damage to the heart muscle that can sometimes happen after a pacemaker is placed for atrioventricular (heart rhythm) block. It may help some people avoid worsening heart function over time.
This study tests how a pacemaker affects blood flow and heart health in people with heart block. It aims to see if special pacing settings can improve how the heart works.
This study compares newer pacemaker types to see how well they work and how they affect your heart's pumping ability and valve function over a short period. You'll be monitored closely with heart imaging to understand which pacemaker performs best.
This trial is testing a new type of pacemaker system. It may be an option for adults who need a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker and are generally in good health.
