Bachmann Bundle Pacing to Prevent Irregular Heartbeat in Heart Failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 70 years old
- Have chronic heart failure diagnosed by a doctor and be on heart failure medications for at least 3 months
- Need a pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization device (CRT), or implantable defibrillator (ICD) based on your heart's electrical activity and pumping function
- Have a regular heart rhythm (sinus rhythm) with specific heart rhythm patterns that your doctor will confirm
- Not have had atrial fibrillation in the past
- Not have had certain heart surgeries or structural heart conditions that would make you ineligible

This study tests a new way to place pacing leads (thin wires) in the heart to help it beat more effectively in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and heart failure. The goal is to improve how well the heart pumps blood and reduce symptoms.
This trial compares two types of pacing for people with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and a weak heart pump (ejection fraction less than 50%). It tests whether pacing the left bundle branch area works as well as or better than standard biventricular pacing to improve heart function.
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 two types of heart pacing procedures for people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). One approach involves disabling the natural electrical pathway between the upper and lower heart chambers and using a pacemaker to regulate heartbeats; the other uses a special pacemaker that helps both chambers work together. The goal is to reduce symptoms and hospitalizations.
This trial compares two types of heart pacing to see which improves outcomes for people with heart failure. It may help those who need pacing to better coordinate heartbeats and relieve symptoms.
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.
