Which pacing mode works best for heart failure? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT03779802
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how different pacing modes affect blood pressure in people with heart failure who have a special pacemaker called a CRT device. Researchers measured the highest blood pressure achieved with each mode to see which one works best. The study included 50 adults who had recently received a CRT device, but it was stopped early.
