NCT ID NCT06713668
First seen Jun 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether increasing the backup pacemaker rate to 100 beats per minute improves blood flow in adults with cardiogenic shock and a naturally slow heart rate. Participants are already in the cardiac ICU with a permanent pacemaker and a monitoring catheter. Each person will try both a standard and a faster pacemaker setting for 10 minutes to see which one helps the heart pump better.
