Temporary pacing for heart rate control
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
- Your heart rate is often over 100 beats per minute.
- You cannot take heart rate control medicine, or the medicine does not work well for you.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are able to read and understand study information.
- You are not pregnant.

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 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.
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 trial studies whether a special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
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.
