3D heart mapping may sharpen pacemaker precision
NCT ID NCT05884359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study uses 3D mapping to explore the electrical and structural features of a specific area in the heart called the left bundle branch area. The goal is to improve how pacemaker leads are placed in that region. Researchers will review data from 30 patients, ages 18 to 88, who are already scheduled for a pacemaker implant. The study does not test a new treatment but aims to gather knowledge to guide future procedures.
