New pacing technique may shield heart from damage in block patients
NCT ID NCT04624763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a newer pacing method called left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is better than standard right ventricular pacing (RVP) at preserving heart function in 683 adults with atrioventricular block (a type of heart block). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two pacing methods and followed for at least 3 years. The goal is to see if LBBP reduces the risk of death, heart failure, or pacing-related heart damage.
