Comparing heart pacing methods for patients with heart block
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to pace the heart in people who have a slow or blocked heart rhythm. The goal is to find which method works better for patients with certain types of heart block.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a condition called AV block, which means the electrical signal between the upper and lower chambers of your heart is delayed or blocked.
- You may have a normal heart rhythm or a fast, irregular rhythm (atrial fibrillation).
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.
- You do not already have an implanted defibrillator (ICD) or heart resynchronization device (CRT).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is above 35%.
- You are expected to live at least 2 more years and are not in another trial that could affect this one.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests how a pacemaker affects blood flow and heart health in people with heart block. It aims to see if special pacing settings can improve how the heart works.
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
This trial compares two pacing methods (LBBAP vs RVP) in people with heart block who need a pacemaker. It looks at whether one method reduces the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). To join, you must have a specific type of heart block, never had atrial fibrillation, and have a healthy pumping heart.
This study compares two treatments for specific “AV block” heart rhythm problems: a pacemaker versus a procedure called cardioneuroablation. The goal is to see which approach works better for preventing symptoms like fainting or slow heart rates.
This trial studies a newer pacing method (left bundle area pacing) versus the standard method (right ventricular apical pacing) in people who need a pacemaker for heart block. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
