Heart Device Detected Irregular Heartbeats: Treatment Study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows patients who have a heart rhythm device (pacemaker, defibrillator, or resynchronization device) and have experienced brief episodes of fast irregular heartbeats detected by the device. The study compares treatment approaches to understand which helps patients stay healthier and feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a heart rhythm device implanted (pacemaker, ICD, or CRT device)
- Your device has detected brief fast irregular heartbeat episodes (6 minutes to 24 hours long) in the upper chambers of your heart
- You have not been previously diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or other sustained upper-chamber arrhythmias that needed treatment
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and provide written consent
- You are not currently taking certain heart rhythm medications (class I or III antiarrhythmics) for irregular heartbeats

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether starting treatment early to control your heart's rhythm can help people with a heart device who have short bursts of a fast heartbeat (called atrial high rate episodes) but haven't yet been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation on a standard EKG or Holter monitor.
This study looks at whether a “rate control” or “rhythm control” approach works better for people with CRT devices who still have atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve heart failure symptoms and help the heart pace more effectively.
This study tests advanced technology to improve how atrial fibrillation (AFib) is treated with a heart ablation procedure. It may help patients who are already advised to have AFib ablation by seeing how well the approach works in real clinical practice.
This study checks how well implanted heart rhythm devices can detect rhythm problems in everyday patients. It may help improve detection and follow-up over the next year.
This study follows patients getting a newer heart rhythm treatment called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). Researchers want to understand which patients do well long-term and which may need additional treatment.
This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can help doctors understand if treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in active people. It involves people with or without heart devices like ICDs or pacemakers, and may help improve care for active individuals with heart conditions.
