Testing a new heart pacing method for people with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with an ejection fraction (how well your heart pumps blood) of 35% or less.
- You have a specific heart rhythm problem called left bundle branch block (LBBB), which means the left side of your heart beats slightly out of sync.
- Your heart failure symptoms are mild to moderate (class II or III).
- You have not had a heart attack before joining.
- You have not had a heart device (pacemaker, ICD, or CRT) implanted before.
- You have no persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and no severe kidney disease.

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 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 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 compares two ways to place a pacemaker lead in the heart for people who have heart failure and a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which pacing method helps the heart pump blood better.
This study compares two ways of using a pacemaker to improve heart function in people with heart failure. It aims to see which method works better for helping the heart pump more efficiently.
This study compares two pacing methods to help your heart beat in sync. If you need a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, this trial will see if a newer pacing method is just as good as the standard one.
