Pacemaker study for atrial fibrillation risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a dual-chamber pacemaker affects the risk of developing atrial fibrillation. It may help people who need a pacemaker understand their long-term heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have or will receive a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker (not a single-chamber or CRT device).
- You are able to give informed consent.
- You are willing to come back for follow-up visits and device checks for a long time.
- You are not expected to have a life expectancy shorter than 1 year from other health problems.
- You are not participating in another clinical trial that could interfere with this study.

This trial tests a new type of pacemaker for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for a procedure that disconnects the heart's natural electrical pathway. It may help improve symptoms and heart function.
This study creates a database to better predict who with a pacemaker or ICD will develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It may help your care team spot risk earlier and tailor monitoring sooner.
This study compares two types of pacemaker pacing methods in people with heart block and normal heart pumping function. It looks at how often short bursts of fast heart rhythm occur in the upper heart chambers, which may help improve long-term heart health.
This study compares two different ways of placing a pacemaker lead to see which one better helps heart function and reduces future heart problems in people with sick sinus syndrome.
This study is looking at whether two blood tests (hs Troponin I and NT-proBNP) can help predict if people with a permanent pacemaker will develop atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. If you need a pacemaker, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more.
This study looks for patterns that can predict an abnormal heart rhythm called SCAF in people who have a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to help doctors recognize risk earlier and respond sooner if it happens.
