Pacemaker pacing technique for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to place a pacemaker lead that may help keep your heart's pumping strength normal when you have atrial fibrillation and need a pacemaker. It may be an option if you have a fast or slow heartbeat from atrial fibrillation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 89 years old.
- You have atrial fibrillation and need a pacemaker because your heart beats too fast or too slow.
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 50% or higher.
- You are covered by French social security and can give consent.
- You do not have certain other heart devices or severe kidney, lung, or other health conditions.

This study compares two types of pacemaker pacing methods in people with heart block and normal heart pumping function. It looks at how often short bursts of fast heart rhythm occur in the upper heart chambers, which may help improve long-term heart health.
This study is testing two new ways of pacing the heart to see if they can reduce the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It might be a good fit if you need a pacemaker for a slow heart rate but have never had atrial fibrillation before.
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 special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests a combination of heart pacing and a specialized ablation procedure in older adults with permanent atrial fibrillation that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to improve symptoms and reduce hospital stays related to heart failure.
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.
