Left Septal or Deep Septal Pacing to Prevent Pacing-induced Cardiomyopathy
Spain326 participantsStarted 2024-07-12
Plain-language summary
Multicenter randomized controlled trial which will include patients with left ventricular ejection fraction \>50% requiring a first implant of a cardiac pacemaker with expected high pacing percentages.
Patients will be randomized 1:1 to right ventricular apical pacing vs left septal or deep septal pacing. The primary endpoint will be pacing-induced cardiomyopathy during the first year of follow-up.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* First implant of a single-chamber or dual chamber pacemaker due to persistent bradycardia associated with high degree atrio-ventricular (AV) block (complete AV block or second degree type II AV block), with second-degree type I AV block (symptomatic or associated with intra-hisian or infra-hisian block), or with atrial fibrillation with symptomatic slow ventricular rate (\<45lpm).
* LVEF\>50% at echocardiography performed maximum 7 days before pacemaker implant.
* Informed consent signature.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Life expectancy \<12 months
* Severe cardiac valvular abnormality requiring intervention
* Unstable Angina, Acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, valvular surgery or valvular percutaneous intervention in the 90 days prior to pacemaker implant.
* Inclusion in another trial which may influence the results of this study.
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.
