Comparing pacemaker methods to reduce irregular heartbeats
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and need a pacemaker for a slow or irregular heartbeat.
- You have never had atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rhythm) before the study.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits for at least 2 years after getting the pacemaker.
- You understand the study and agree to take part by signing a consent form.

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 places in the heart where a pacemaker or similar device's wire can be attached. The goal is to see if one spot works better than the other for patients getting their first heart device.
This study compares two ways to place a pacemaker lead in the heart for people who have heart failure and a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which pacing method helps the heart pump blood better.
This study compares two types of pacemakers: a small leadless pacemaker (placed directly in the heart without wires) and a newer pacing technique called left bundle area pacing. It aims to see which is safer and works better for people who need a pacemaker due to heart block or after a TAVR procedure.
This study compares two procedures for people who have both atrial fibrillation (AFib) and heart failure: one that slows the heart's electrical signals (AV node ablation) and one that helps the heart pump in a more coordinated way (cardiac resynchronization). Both are options when medications alone aren't enough, and the goal is to improve symptoms and quality of life.
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.
