New pacing technique aims to stop irregular heartbeat in heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT07547449
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special pacing method called Bachmann bundle pacing can prevent new atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) in people with heart failure who already need a pacemaker or defibrillator. About 110 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either this new pacing or standard pacing, and all will continue their usual heart failure medications. The main goal is to see how many develop atrial fibrillation within 12 months after the device is implanted.
