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 study tests a new small pacemaker that is implanted directly into the heart without wires, for people with certain slow heart rhythms. It might be an option for those who have difficulty with traditional pacemakers.
This study tests a new type of pacemaker that only paces the lower right chamber of the heart (ventricle). It's for people whose heart rate is too slow or irregular and who might have trouble with traditional pacemakers.
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.
