NCT06052475
Guidelines for patients having first-time implants advocate that even when heart function is only mildly impaired, modern pacing approaches should be utilised to avoid the potentially damaging effects of RV pacing to preventing symptoms from pacing induced or worsened cardiomyopathy. However, once a traditional (RV) pacemaker is implanted, development of impaired heart function does not prompt a device upgrade. Even at the end of battery life, physicians simply replace it like-for-like. This trial tests whether such patients have better symptoms and quality of life if changed to a modern physiological pacing strategy from the traditional RV pacing approach. In this crossover trial, participants will be upgraded to a physiological pacing strategy. After their procedure, they will have a one-month run-in period to recover from the procedure (their pacemaker will be programmed to continued RV pacing). They will be have 2 one-month blinded time periods, randomised to physiological pacing or right ventricular pacing alternately. They will subsequently undergo two six-month blinded randomised time periods. Patients will document symptoms monthly on a mobile phone application or computer. At the end of each time period, they will have measurements of heart function, a walking test and quality-of-life questionnaires including the SF-36 questionnaire. The investigators hypothesise that upgrading to physiological pacing strategies will improve patients' quality of life.
NCT06100757
This prospective, un-blinded, randomized, noninferiority, single centre study with 12 month follow-up included patients who were scheduled for a single-chamber PM implant. Patients were 1:1 randomized to undergo the implantation of a conventional VVI pacing system (Medtronic, Advisa ADSR03) with a ventricular pacing lead (Medtronic, 5076-58) in the right ventricle (called 'conventional group') or to be implanted with a leadless Micra TPS (called 'Micra group'). The primary objective was to assess and compare the mechanical impact of right ventricular pacing using the Micra TPS versus a conventional PM on the left ventricular function.
NCT06008340
The purpose of the current study was to determine the factors associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression both before and after pacemaker implantation and examine if changes in these symptoms occur during the first postoperative year.
NCT05024279
Prospective, randomized, single center clinical trial to compare the outcome of left bundle branch area pacing versus right ventricular apical pacing in patients with higher degree atrio-ventricular block and a normal left ventricular function after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
