Can a pacemaker tweak ease heart failure in amyloidosis?
NCT ID NCT07583823
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether raising the heart rate with a pacemaker can improve heart failure symptoms and exercise ability in 10 people with cardiac amyloidosis who already have a pacemaker. Participants will get a personalized pacing protocol based on their height and heart function. The goal is to see if this simple adjustment can make daily life better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pacemaker pacing protocol
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple way to ease heart failure symptoms and improve daily life for people with cardiac amyloidosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 10 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The pacing change might not help or could cause discomfort.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults 18 and older * Diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis as indicated by the criteria set forth in guidelines such as in Kittleson et al: "2023 ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway on Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Care for the Patient With Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Report of the American College of Cardiology Solution Set Oversight Committee * Implanted Cardiac Pacemaker (+/- Defibrillator) * Pacemaker mode of AAI or DDD if in sinus rhythm, VVI acceptable if permanent atrial fibrillation * Non-dilated left ventricle by echocardiography * Ability to provide written consent * English Speaking Exclusion Criteria: * Paced QRS duration of \>150 ms (indicator for pacing mediated dyssynchrony) * Dilated left ventricle
