Pacing method study for heart failure with a conduction block
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a condition that requires a special pacemaker called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
- You must have a specific heart rhythm problem called left bundle branch block (LBBB).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot be pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the trial.
- You must not have certain heart conditions or recent heart procedures within the last 3 months (e.g., recent heart attack, bypass surgery, or stent).
- You must not have permanent atrial fibrillation or certain other heart conditions.

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 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.
This study tests a new way to pace the heart to see if it can improve how well the heart pumps. It uses a special Abbott pacemaker to pace a part of the heart called the left bundle branch and adjust the timing to match your natural heart rhythm.
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 ways to pace the heart in people with heart failure and a wide QRS (a sign the heart's electrical signals are slowed). The goal is to see which method better reduces the risks of death, heart failure hospitalization, or needing a heart transplant.
This trial compares two types of “left-side” heart pacing to see which one works better in people with weak heart pumping. It may help guide the best pacing choice for improving heart function and symptoms.
