Comparing two pacemaker treatments for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using a pacemaker to improve heart function in people with heart failure. It aims to see which method works better for helping the heart pump more efficiently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have heart failure with symptoms that limit your daily activities.
- You must have a specific heart rhythm problem called a left bundle branch block.
- You must be scheduled to get a pacemaker for the first time.
- You must not have severe heart valve problems.
- You must not have a history of dangerous heart rhythm problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of pacemaker placement to improve heart function in people with heart failure. One method paces the heart's natural conduction system, while the other paces the lower chambers of the heart. The goal is to find which approach works better for heart resynchronization therapy.
This study tests a new way to place a heart device lead to help the heart beat in sync for people with heart failure and a specific abnormal heart rhythm. The goal is to see if this method improves outcomes compared with standard treatment.
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 a newer pacing therapy (LOT-CRT) to standard cardiac resynchronization therapy (BiVP) for people with heart failure who have a specific type of electrical delay in the heart (NICD). The goal is to see if the newer method works better.
This study compares different ways of pacing the heart to improve its pumping ability in people with heart failure. It aims to find the best pacing method to help your heart work more efficiently and improve 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.
