Sick sinus syndrome

This study is testing a pacemaker lead placed in a specific area of the heart called the left bundle branch area. The goal is to see if this placement is safe and helps the heart beat more naturally in people with slow heart rates. About 140 participants will get the lead and be …

This study is testing a new type of pacemaker that doesn't use wires (leads) to help control slow heart rhythms. About 20 adults who need a pacemaker will get this device and be checked for safety and how well it works at 1 and 3 months. The goal is to see if this leadless system…

This study tests two ways to treat a slow heart rate caused by overactive nerves, without using a permanent pacemaker. One method uses freezing (cryoablation) and the other uses burning (radiofrequency) to calm the nerves. Sixty adults aged 18 to 60 with symptoms like fainting or…

This study is testing a small, leadless pacemaker placed in the heart's upper chamber (atrium) for people with sinus node dysfunction, a condition where the heart's natural pacemaker doesn't work properly. Participants receive the Aveir AR pacemaker and a loop recorder to track h…

This study compares two pacemaker strategies for people with sick sinus syndrome and AV conduction delay. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) or minimized ventricular pacing (MVP). The goal is to see which method leads t…

This trial is testing whether an artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) can better identify patients who need a cardiac implantable electronic device (like a pacemaker or defibrillator) compared to standard care. Over 11,000 participants will be randomly assi…

This study looks at 200 adults with sick sinus syndrome who need a pacemaker. Researchers will compare two places to put the pacing wire—Bachmann's bundle or the right atrial appendage—to see which one better prevents heart damage. The goal is to learn which site leads to healthi…

This study is observing 150 people who have a pacemaker with a special setting called Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) combined with left bundle branch area pacing. The goal is to see if this setting reduces the occurrence of atrial fibrillation over two years. Participants have sin…

This study is a large registry that will collect information from 10,000 adults who undergo exercise echocardiography (a heart ultrasound during exercise) as part of their regular care. The goal is to better understand how the heart works during exercise in people with various he…

This study aims to measure how often a heart valve leak (tricuspid regurgitation) develops or worsens after getting a pacemaker or defibrillator with a lead that crosses the valve. About 200 adults who need their first device will have heart ultrasounds before and after the proce…

This study collects blood and tissue samples from 2,000 people with or without heart rhythm problems. Researchers will analyze the samples to find genetic differences linked to arrhythmias. The goal is to better understand the causes of these conditions, not to test a new treatme…
