Comparing two pacing sites for heart devices
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two different places in the heart where a pacemaker or similar device's wire can be attached. The goal is to see if one spot works better than the other for patients getting their first heart device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are about to get your first pacemaker, ICD, or CRT device (not a replacement).
- Your doctor plans to use a Medtronic brand device.
- You can read and understand English, and you can give consent yourself or have someone legally authorized to do it for you.
- You do not have severe lung disease, bleeding/clotting problems, or pregnancy/breastfeeding.

This study compares two different pacing methods for people who need a pacemaker. It looks at how these methods affect the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
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 tests a new way to pace the heart (using a specific spot called the Bachmann bundle) to prevent new episodes of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people with heart failure who already need a pacemaker or defibrillator. The goal is to keep the heart's rhythm more stable and reduce the risk of future heart rhythm problems.
This study compares two procedures for people who have both atrial fibrillation (AFib) and heart failure: one that slows the heart's electrical signals (AV node ablation) and one that helps the heart pump in a more coordinated way (cardiac resynchronization). Both are options when medications alone aren't enough, and the goal is to improve symptoms and quality of life.
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 trial tests two different catheters that use pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem). It aims to find which one works better for people who need blood thinners but have a high risk of bleeding.
