Leadless Pacemaker for Slow Heart Rhythm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of pacemaker (without traditional wires) for people whose hearts beat too slowly. It may help you if you have symptoms like fainting or fatigue from a slow heartbeat and haven't had a pacemaker before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your heart rate drops very low (below 40 beats per minute) or stops for more than 2 seconds while awake, and this causes symptoms
- No prior pacemaker implants
- Normal electrical conduction between your heart's upper and lower chambers (no AV block)
- No history of atrial fibrillation (irregular fast heartbeat)
- Willing to wear a special heart monitor (Assert-IQ loop recorder) for the study
- Able to read, write, and speak English; not pregnant; cognitively able to consent

This trial tests a new type of pacemaker for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for a procedure that disconnects the heart's natural electrical pathway. It may help improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial studies whether a strategy to regularize (control) heart rate can improve outcomes in people who have permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It focuses on people with recent heart-failure hospitalization and checks several heart, kidney, and health-condition limits to keep the study safe.
This trial tests a new single chamber pacemaker (ALPs) for people with certain slow heart rhythms (like high-grade AV block with atrial fibrillation, or sick sinus syndrome). It's designed for those who need only one lead in the heart and may have difficulty with a standard dual-lead pacemaker.
This trial is testing a new type of single-chamber pacemaker (called ALPs) for people who need a pacemaker due to a slow heart rate (heart block), often with atrial fibrillation. It's a leadless device that is placed directly inside the heart, avoiding the need for wires.
This trial tests a new pacemaker placement technique for people with a slow heartbeat (sinus node dysfunction) who need a pacemaker anyway. The goal is to see if this special placement can help prevent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can cause stroke and other complications.
This trial tests how pacing from a specific part of the heart (a “bundle” pacing approach) can affect people with heart failure and/or slow heart rhythms. It may help certain patients whose heart rhythm is too slow or who need a pacemaker and related devices.
