Diaphragm pacing via vein during CRT implant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to pace the diaphragm using a special vein in your chest, done at the same time as a standard CRT device implant for heart failure. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well for helping you breathe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a different pacing approach called left bundle branch pacing can improve outcomes and heart structure changes in people who did not improve with standard biventricular CRT. It may help some patients with ongoing heart failure symptoms and weak heart pumping.
This trial tests whether using detailed heart scans (PET and CT) to guide the placement of a special pacing wire can improve outcomes for people with heart failure who have a specific ECG pattern. If you qualify, you may receive more personalized placement of the pacing lead.
This trial tests a pacing approach designed to improve how the heart beats in some people with heart failure and a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. If you already need a device (CRT-D) based on your results, the study may help see whether this pacing correction improves outcomes.
This study tests a new way to place a heart device lead to help the heart beat in sync for people with heart failure and a specific abnormal heart rhythm. The goal is to see if this method improves outcomes compared with standard treatment.
This trial compares two types of pacemaker placement to improve heart function in people with heart failure. One method paces the heart's natural conduction system, while the other paces the lower chambers of the heart. The goal is to find which approach works better for heart resynchronization therapy.
This study uses a heart MRI (a special scan) to better map the heart’s electrical activity, with the goal of fine-tuning settings on your implanted pacing device. It’s meant to improve how well the device coordinates your heartbeat.
