Atrioventricular block

This study is testing a new, wire-free pacemaker called LivIQ in 325 people who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well to keep the heart beating at the right pace. Participants will be followed for several months to check the device…

Researchers are studying the SPIKE FLOW endocardial lead, a temporary wire placed inside the heart to keep it beating during surgery or while doctors check a slow heart rhythm. The study enrolls 131 adults who need short-term cardiac pacing. Doctors implant the lead, measure how …

This study is testing a pacemaker lead placed in a specific area of the heart called the left bundle branch area. The goal is to see if this placement is safe and helps the heart beat more naturally in people with slow heart rates. About 140 participants will get the lead and be …

This study tests two ways to treat a slow heart rate caused by overactive nerves, without using a permanent pacemaker. One method uses freezing (cryoablation) and the other uses burning (radiofrequency) to calm the nerves. Sixty adults aged 18 to 60 with symptoms like fainting or…

This study tests a pre-set treatment plan for managing heart rhythm issues that can occur after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The goal is to reduce the number of patients who receive a permanent pacemaker while ensuring no one is put at risk of sudden cardiac dea…

This study tests a newer pacing method called Conduction System Pacing (CSP) against standard right ventricular pacing in 1,260 adults with heart block. The goal is to see if CSP reduces heart failure events, hospitalizations, and need for additional procedures, while also improv…

This study follows 1,805 people who already have an Aveir DR leadless pacemaker to see how safe it is over 5 years. The pacemaker helps control slow heart rhythms without wires. Researchers will track complications shortly after implant and for years afterward using real-world da…

This study compares a new pacing method called conduction system pacing (CSP) to standard pacing for people with a slow heart rate and a wide QRS pattern on their ECG. The goal is to see if CSP better preserves the heart's pumping ability over one year. About 120 adults who need …

This study tests a newer pacing method called left bundle branch area pacing against standard pacing in people who need a pacemaker after a TAVI procedure. About 266 participants will be enrolled to see if the new method reduces heart-related deaths, hospitalizations for heart fa…

This study compares two types of pacemaker settings in people who need a pacemaker after a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement). The two methods are 'physiological pacing' (which tries to mimic natural heart activation) and standard 'right ventricular pac…

This study compares a newer pacing method called left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) with standard right ventricular pacing in 1,300 people who need a pacemaker for heart block. Standard pacing can sometimes weaken the heart over time, leading to heart failure. LBBP tries to mimic t…

This study compares two ways of placing a pacemaker lead in people who need frequent pacing. One method (left bundle branch pacing) aims to activate the heart more naturally than the standard method. The goal is to see if it reduces the time the heart spends in fast, irregular rh…

This study compares two ways to place a pacemaker in people with heart block (a condition where the heart's electrical signals slow or stop). One method uses standard right ventricular pacing, the other uses conduction system pacing (targeting the heart's natural electrical pathw…

This study tests a new, smaller pacemaker called Micra AV2 in 150 adults with heart block (a condition where the heart's electrical signals are blocked). The pacemaker is designed to better match the heart's natural rhythm, especially during exercise, and lasts over 15 years. Res…

This study tests if a newer pacing method, left bundle branch area pacing, is better than standard right ventricular pacing for people who need a pacemaker. Researchers will compare outcomes like death, heart failure, and heart damage in 450 participants over two years. The goal …

This study compares two pacemaker strategies for people with sick sinus syndrome and AV conduction delay. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) or minimized ventricular pacing (MVP). The goal is to see which method leads t…

This study tests a newer heart pacing method (His or left bundle branch pacing) against the standard method (biventricular pacing) in over 2,000 adults with heart failure and a weak heart pump. The goal is to see which approach better improves quality of life, reduces hospital st…

This study is tracking 300 people under age 60 who faint frequently due to a condition called vasovagal syncope. Participants will receive either a nerve ablation procedure (which targets heart nerves) or a permanent pacemaker. The goal is to see which treatment better prevents f…

This study tests whether wearing a portable ECG monitor for 30 days after a heart valve replacement (TAVI) can detect dangerous heart rhythm problems better than the usual 1-2 days of hospital monitoring. 250 patients will be randomly assigned to either the extended monitoring gr…

This study tests whether a newer pacemaker method (conduction system pacing) can better prevent heart muscle weakening compared to the standard method. Researchers will enroll 200 adults who need a pacemaker for a slow heart rhythm. The goal is to see which approach reduces the r…

This study compares two ways to dilute the numbing drug bupivacaine for a nerve block used during arm surgery. Researchers want to see if using sugar water (5% dextrose) instead of salt water (0.9% saline) affects how well and how long the block works. About 90 adults having elec…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—M-TAPA and TAP block—for pain relief after open inguinal hernia repair. Sixty adults undergoing elective surgery will receive one of the two blocks with the same numbing medicine. Researchers will measure pain scores and patient satis…

This study will compare two newer pacemaker technologies—left bundle branch area pacing and leadless pacing—to see how they affect heart function and the tricuspid valve. Twenty adults with certain heart block conditions will receive both types temporarily during their routine pa…

This study is observing 150 people who have a pacemaker with a special setting called Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) combined with left bundle branch area pacing. The goal is to see if this setting reduces the occurrence of atrial fibrillation over two years. Participants have sin…

This study looks at how a special pacing method called His bundle pacing affects the heart's electrical activity in 80 people with bradycardia (slow heart rate) or heart failure. Researchers will take extra measurements during standard pacemaker implantation to see if this techni…

This study is a registry that collects information from 1,000 adults who have conditions like fainting, rapid heartbeat, or low blood pressure and have received a procedure that adjusts nerve signals to the heart. Researchers will track whether symptoms return within a year. The …
