Comparing two pacing targets for left bundle branch area pacemakers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of pacing the heart during a left bundle branch area pacemaker procedure to see which gives better results. It is for people who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat and who are expected to need pacing frequently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years of age or older.
- Your doctor says you need a permanent pacemaker because your heart beats too slowly, and it will likely be needed more than 40% of the time.
- You are scheduled to receive a type of pacemaker lead placed in a specific part of the heart (left bundle branch area).
- You have not had surgery to replace the tricuspid valve in your heart.
- You have not had a heart attack that affected the wall between the lower chambers of your heart.
- You do not already have a pacemaker or defibrillator, and you are not pregnant and can commit to 12 months of follow-up.

This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead in the left bundle branch area of the heart. It may help people who need a pacemaker to see if this approach is safe and works well.
This trial compares two pacing methods (LBBAP vs RVP) in people with heart block who need a pacemaker. It looks at whether one method reduces the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). To join, you must have a specific type of heart block, never had atrial fibrillation, and have a healthy pumping heart.
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 compares two ways to place a pacemaker lead in the heart for people who have heart failure and a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which pacing method helps the heart pump blood better.
This study compares two pacemaker pacing strategies—left-sided “bundle branch area” pacing versus right-sided ventricular pacing. It aims to see which approach better prevents heart failure getting worse and reduces abnormal timing between heart chambers over time.
This study tests a new type of pacemaker system that delivers pacing to the left side of the heart through a lead placed deep in the wall between the lower chambers. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who need a pacemaker or CRT.
