Evaluating new pacing methods for heart rhythm management
Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronisation Using the Intrinsic Conduction System to Maintain Physiologic Ventricular Activation
Klinikum-Fuerth · NCT04416958
This study is testing new pacing methods for heart rhythm management to see if they work better and are safer for patients who need a pacemaker or ICD.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the success, safety, and outcomes of various pacing methods that maintain physiological ventricular activation in patients requiring pacemaker or ICD implantation. It focuses on advanced techniques such as His bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing, which are designed to prevent the complications associated with traditional right ventricular pacing. The study will collect data on implantation success and patient outcomes to better understand the effectiveness of these innovative pacing strategies.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who need a pacemaker or ICD and aim to avoid pacing-induced ventricular dyssynchrony.
Not a fit: Patients who cannot provide informed consent or who lack follow-up data may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved heart function and reduced complications for patients requiring pacing devices.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar pacing approaches, indicating potential for success in this area.
