Heart Pacing Strategy for Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 19 years old
- Your doctor has recommended a CRT device (a special pacemaker) implantation for your heart
- You have permanent atrial fibrillation (a condition where your heart beats irregularly)
- You do not have a mechanical tricuspid valve in your heart
- You can attend follow-up visits for 12 months after the procedure
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 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.
