Smart pacemaker aims to catch and stop heart flutter before it starts
NCT ID NCT07572279
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 30 adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) who have or will get a special pacemaker. The pacemaker can detect irregular heartbeats early and send a painless pacing pulse to stop them. It also sends data to doctors remotely. Researchers will check how well it detects and treats PAF over 12 months, and track any side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients ≥ 20 years of age * Diagnosed with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) or atrial flutter who have been implanted or planned to implant with permanent pacemaker device * The diagnosis of AF is confirmed on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or lasting \>30 seconds in single lead ECG monitor * Implanted within 12 weeks prior to enrollment or being considered for implantation of a PPM with Home Monitoring technology * Able to give informed consent for the participation in the trial Exclusion Criteria: * Patients are not able to use CardioMessenger 4G or its successors * Life expectancy \< 1 year * Sepsis * Long-standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation or Permanent Atrial Fibrillation * Pregnant or breast-feeding women * Abnormal baseline findings considered by the investigator to indicate conditions that might affect study endpoints * Participation in another prospective interventional clinical study within a period of 4 weeks prior to the implantation of Atrial Arrhythmia * Present or history of drug addiction * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, might increase the risk to the patients or affect trial quality * Patients underwent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation
