Bachmann Bundle Pacing for Heart Failure and Heart Block
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new pacing strategy for people with weak heart pumping (heart failure), abnormal heart rhythms, and irregular electrical signals between the upper heart chambers. The study uses a special implantable device (ICD) to deliver pacing therapy in a new location to help the heart work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Heart failure diagnosis (NYHA class II–IV, meaning at least some symptoms with activity)
- Weak heart pumping (ejection fraction ≤40% from imaging within 12 months)
- On stable heart failure medications for at least 1 month
- Specific electrical heart pattern on ECG (P-wave ≥120 milliseconds, showing delayed signals between upper chambers)
- Need for dual-chamber ICD implant (device to prevent sudden cardiac death)
- Elevated heart stress marker (NT-proBNP >300) within 3 months

This trial tests a special pacing technique called Bachmann Bundle Pacing in patients with heart failure who need a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to see if this approach can help prevent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) that often develops in heart failure patients.
This study tests a new way to pace the heart to see if it can improve how well the heart pumps. It uses a special Abbott pacemaker to pace a part of the heart called the left bundle branch and adjust the timing to match your natural heart rhythm.
This trial tests a special way to place a pacemaker lead that may improve heart function by pacing the Bachmann bundle, a key electrical pathway between the upper heart chambers. It is designed for people who already need a pacemaker or an ICD with an atrial lead.
This study tests a new type of heart failure device implant designed for patients with a specific heart rhythm problem called left bundle branch block. The device may help your heart pump better and reduce symptoms.
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 tests a special pacing method (conduction system pacing) combined with a small ablation to control heart rate in people with permanent atrial fibrillation and advanced heart failure. It aims to improve symptoms and potentially avoid the need for a heart transplant or LVAD.
