Heart failure pacemaker therapy study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a pacemaker-based therapy designed to improve heart failure symptoms in people who have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. If you're getting a pacemaker for another reason and have heart failure with preserved pumping function, this could be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You need or already have a dual-chamber pacemaker (a device that helps control your heartbeat).
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, meaning your heart's pumping strength is normal (at least 50%).
- You have a history of high blood pressure.
- Your heart failure symptoms are mild to moderate (NYHA class II or III), meaning you get short of breath with normal or less-than-normal activity.
- You are on stable, doctor-recommended heart failure medications.

This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
This study looks for people who may have heart failure with preserved pumping function, where the heart is stiff and doesn't fill properly. It aims to better understand and identify this condition to improve care.
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests a special pacemaker setting to help your heart beat faster during exercise. It may improve your ability to be active if you have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and a low resting heart rate.
This trial tests whether adjusting the lower rate of an already-implanted pacemaker can improve symptoms and exercise capacity in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly.
