Faster heart pacing for right heart failure with severe tricuspid leak
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a faster pacing method (left bundle branch pacing) for people with right-sided heart failure and severe tricuspid valve leaking. The goal is to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like swelling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your resting heart rate is 65 beats per minute or lower.
- You have right-sided heart failure that needs daily water pills (diuretics) to control swelling, or you still have swelling despite taking them.
- An ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) shows severe leaking of the tricuspid valve.
- You may or may not already need a pacemaker, but you cannot have one already implanted.
- You are not taking heart-slowing medications like beta-blockers, digoxin, or ivabradine.

This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead inside the heart to help it beat more effectively, aiming to improve heart function and symptoms in people with heart failure and a specific electrical problem (left bundle branch block). If you meet the criteria, this could be an option to discuss with your heart doctor.
This study compares newer pacemaker types to see how well they work and how they affect your heart's pumping ability and valve function over a short period. You'll be monitored closely with heart imaging to understand which pacemaker performs best.
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 study tests whether a temporary pacemaker placed in the right heart chamber can improve heart function in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension. It aims to see if pacing can help the right heart pump more efficiently, potentially reducing symptoms.
This study compares a newer heart pacing method (left bundle branch pacing) to the standard method (right ventricular pacing) in people who need most of their heartbeats paced. It may help improve how well the heart pumps over time.
This study looks at how a new pacemaker or defibrillator (CIED) might affect the tricuspid valve and the right side of the heart. It aims to understand these changes over time.
