Mapping and Pacing of the His Bundle for Heart Failure Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block
United States18 participantsStarted 2019-03-20
Plain-language summary
This is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, non-blinded study designed to characterize the locations of His Bundle (HB) pacing that results in correction of electrical dyssynchrony and to characterize morphology and activation time of local intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) with an electro-anatomical mapping system during a device implant procedure and secondarily to assess the efficacy of HB pacing or HB plus LV pacing (when indicated) in correction of electrical dyssynchrony in heart failure patients with left bundle branch block.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Patients have non-specific intraventricular conduction delay or right bundle branch block
. Previously implanted cardiac devices with three or more permanent leads
. History of aortic valve repair or replacement
. History of tricuspid valve replacement
. Pregnant or nursing subjects and those who plan pregnancy during the clinical investigation follow-up period.
. Recent (\< 3 months) myocardial infarction, ablation, electrolyte imbalance, or any condition within the last 90 days that would contraindicate for pacemaker or CRT implant in the opinion of the investigator
. Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results.
