Comparing two types of heart pacing for sick sinus syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older
- You have sick sinus syndrome and are getting a new pacemaker or defibrillator for the first time
- You are willing to let the researchers access your medical records and study data
- You do not have persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat)
- You are expected to live at least one more year
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests two types of heart pacing to see which works better for people with a slow heartbeat from sinus node issues and a long delay between the upper and lower heart chambers (PR interval over 200 ms). The goal is to find the best way to pace the heart while keeping unnecessary pacing minimal.
This study looks at how dual-chamber pacemakers affect atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to understand the benefits and risks of this type of pacemaker in managing this condition.
This study compares two ways of pacing the heart during a left bundle branch area pacemaker procedure to see which gives better results. It is for people who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat and who are expected to need pacing frequently.
This study compares two methods of placing a pacemaker lead to see if one works as well as the other for people who need a pacemaker. It may help improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
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 trial tests a special way to place a pacemaker lead that may improve heart function by pacing the Bachmann bundle, a key electrical pathway between the upper heart chambers. It is designed for people who already need a pacemaker or an ICD with an atrial lead.
