Pacemaker after heart procedure for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of pacemaker for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for a procedure that disconnects the heart's natural electrical pathway. It may help improve symptoms and heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation that causes symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, or fatigue despite current treatments
- Your heart's pumping strength is normal (ejection fraction 50% or higher)
- You are already planning to have a procedure called AV node ablation
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not have a pacemaker already implanted

This trial tests if a pacemaker plus an ablation procedure can improve heart failure symptoms in people with atrial fibrillation. It is for those with moderate to severe heart failure who are already on the right medications.
This trial tests a special way to pace the heart and a procedure to quiet the irregular rhythm in people with advanced heart failure and long-standing atrial fibrillation. It may help improve symptoms and heart function, possibly reducing the need for a transplant.
This trial studies whether a strategy to regularize (control) heart rate can improve outcomes in people who have permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It focuses on people with recent heart-failure hospitalization and checks several heart, kidney, and health-condition limits to keep the study safe.
This trial tests a new catheter system to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by creating small scars in the heart to block faulty signals. It may help people with symptoms that continue despite medication and who are scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.
This trial studies whether a special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker in people with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) to help keep the heart's pumping strength normal. The research team wants to see if this special pacing method works better at preserving heart function than standard pacing.
