Finding the best pace settings for ICDs
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how to set the pacemaker function in an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to stop dangerous heart rhythms more effectively. It may help you if you have an ICD for preventing or treating fast heartbeats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You already have an ICD placed to prevent or treat dangerous heart rhythms.
- You do not have any medical reason that would prevent participation.
- You can choose not to be in the study at any time.

This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
This study looks at a pacing approach for people with a pacemaker or ICD (defibrillator) to help prevent the heartbeats from becoming out of sync. It may be useful if your implant team is trying to reduce pacing-related “timing” problems in the heart.
This study compares a newer heart pacing method (left bundle branch pacing) to the standard method (right ventricular pacing) in people who need most of their heartbeats paced. It may help improve how well the heart pumps over time.
This study checks how well implanted heart rhythm devices can detect rhythm problems in everyday patients. It may help improve detection and follow-up over the next year.
This trial studies whether adding a structured exercise program after an ICD implant is safe and helpful for people with certain heart rhythm problems. You may qualify if you can comfortably walk daily and can follow the study schedule for several months.
This trial tests two pacing approaches to see which one better prevents weakening of the heart's main pumping chamber. It's for people who need a pacemaker for a slow heart rhythm and are expected to rely on it heavily.
