Temporary pacing to calm the heart's rhythm
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (irregular heart rhythms).
- Your heart rate is over 100 beats per minute when resting.
- You are unable to take heart-rate control medicines, or they haven't worked well enough.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

This study compares two different pacing methods for people who need a pacemaker. It looks at how these methods affect the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
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.
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 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 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 study tests a temporary pacing wire that helps control heart rhythm during procedures or when the heart beats too slowly. It aims to see if the device works well and is safe for people who need short-term pacing.
