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 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.
This study compares two pacemaker pacing strategies—left-sided “bundle branch area” pacing versus right-sided ventricular pacing. It aims to see which approach better prevents heart failure getting worse and reduces abnormal timing between heart chambers over time.
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.
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 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.
