NCT ID NCT04774523

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a pacemaker feature called AutoAdapt that automatically adjusts timing settings to help the heart pump better. It involved 198 people with heart failure who needed a special pacemaker. The goal was to see if this smart feature improves symptoms, reduces hospital stays, and boosts quality of life compared to standard settings.
