NCT ID NCT07413081

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether increasing the pacemaker's lower rate from 60 to 80 beats per minute improves quality of life and daily function in people with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis. The heart in this condition is stiff and depends on a faster heart rate to pump blood. Thirty-four participants will try both settings in a crossover design to see which works better.

Active substance

pacemaker rate adjustment

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple way to improve daily function and well-being for people with cardiac amyloidosis who have a pacemaker.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit seen in similar conditions may not hold true for amyloidosis.
