Heart device study seeks to uncover hidden effects on right ventricle
NCT ID NCT07272395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how implantable heart devices like pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices may affect the right side of the heart. Researchers will check 40 adults before and 6 months after device placement using heart scans, ultrasound, and a blood test. No experimental treatment is given—all devices are part of standard care. The goal is to better understand changes in right heart function over time.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Participants will be recruited from the cardiology clinics and electrophysiology unit of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Cardiology Institute. The study population consists of adult patients scheduled for implantation of a clinically indicated pacemaker, ICD, or CRT device. All participants represent a routine tertiary-care population referred for device therapy due to bradyarrhythmia, heart failure, or ventricular arrhythmia indications.
