Pacing the heart's natural electrical highway: Bachmann bundle pacing study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special way to place a pacemaker lead that may improve heart function by pacing the Bachmann bundle, a key electrical pathway between the upper heart chambers. It is designed for people who already need a pacemaker or an ICD with an atrial lead.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You need a permanent pacemaker or an ICD that uses a lead in the upper heart chamber (atrial lead)
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and stay in touch with the research team
- You do not have persistent atrial fibrillation that cannot be corrected before the implant
- Your kidney function is adequate (serum creatinine level below 3.0 mg/dl)

This trial tests a special pacing technique called Bachmann Bundle Pacing in patients with heart failure who need a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to see if this approach can help prevent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) that often develops in heart failure patients.
This trial is testing a new way to pace the upper part of the heart (called Bachmann's area) to see if it works well. It may help people who need a pacemaker for their heart's upper chamber.
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 trial tests a new pacing strategy for people with weak heart pumping (heart failure), abnormal heart rhythms, and irregular electrical signals between the upper heart chambers. The study uses a special implantable device (ICD) to deliver pacing therapy in a new location to help the heart work better.
This study compares a newer heart pacing method (left bundle branch pacing) to the standard method (right ventricular pacing) in people who need most of their heartbeats paced. It may help improve how well the heart pumps over time.
This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead in the left bundle branch area of the heart. It may help people who need a pacemaker to see if this approach is safe and works well.
