Restoring heart rhythm with advanced pacing
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special pacing method for people with heart failure. It aims to improve the heart's pumping by using a more natural pacing approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have heart failure with symptoms, even after taking recommended medications.
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 40% or less.
- Your heart's electrical signal is very wide (QRS duration 150 ms or more) with a specific pattern.
- You are scheduled to receive a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device.
- You can provide written consent and are expected to live more than 2 years.

This trial tests whether a different pacing approach called left bundle branch pacing can improve outcomes and heart structure changes in people who did not improve with standard biventricular CRT. It may help some patients with ongoing heart failure symptoms and weak heart pumping.
This trial tests a new way to use an ECG (electrical heart recording) to predict who will benefit from a special pacemaker called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). It is for people with heart failure and a specific heart rhythm problem.
This study tests a newer type of pacemaker that paces the heart's left bundle branch area, compared to the usual cardiac resynchronization therapy. It is for people with heart failure who need a combined pacemaker-defibrillator (CRT-D) and have a specific heart rhythm pattern (left bundle branch block) with reduced pumping strength.
This trial tests a noninvasive way to map your heart’s wiring and veins to help guide placement of a heart resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. If you have certain abnormal heart rhythm and weak heart pumping, it may help doctors place the therapy more accurately and safely.
This trial compares two types of heart pacing to see which improves outcomes for people with heart failure. It may help those who need pacing to better coordinate heartbeats and relieve 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.
