NCT ID NCT06601322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether it is safe and possible to do a special exercise test (MRI combined with a bike workout) in 20 people who already have a specific type of pacemaker. The goal is to see how different pacemaker settings affect the heart's pumping ability during light exercise. Results will help doctors better understand right and left heart function in these patients.
