New leadless pacemaker for slow heart rhythm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new small pacemaker that is implanted directly into the heart without wires, for people with certain slow heart rhythms. It might be an option for those who have difficulty with traditional pacemakers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a slow heart rhythm that needs a single-chamber pacemaker, such as from atrial fibrillation or heart block.
- You are willing to use a home monitor to check your pacemaker.
- You are expected to live at least 2 more years.
- You have not had a pacemaker, ICD, or CRT device before.
- You do not have severe heart failure (ejection fraction 50% or less).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of pacemaker that only paces the lower right chamber of the heart (ventricle). It's for people whose heart rate is too slow or irregular and who might have trouble with traditional pacemakers.
This trial studies a small, leadless pacemaker that is placed directly in the heart to treat slow heart rhythms. It's designed for people who need a pacemaker for the bottom chambers of the heart.
This trial tests a new pacemaker system for people who need a pacemaker for a slow or irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well.
This trial tests a new way to place a small pacemaker in the heart by going through a vein in the neck instead of the leg. It may be a good option for people who have limited leg vein access or are at high risk of infection.
This trial is testing a new type of pacemaker system. It may be an option for adults who need a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker and are generally in good health.
This trial tests how pacing from a specific part of the heart (a “bundle” pacing approach) can affect people with heart failure and/or slow heart rhythms. It may help certain patients whose heart rhythm is too slow or who need a pacemaker and related devices.
