Clinical Trial: Comparing the Effects of Newer Pacemakers and Their Effects on the Heart and Valve Function in the Short-term.

U.S., April 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07534917) titled 'Comparing the Effects of Newer Pacemakers and Their Effects on the Heart and Valve Function in the Short-term.' on April 10.

Brief Summary: Conventional pacemakers involve placing a lead through a valve into the bottom right chamber of the heart. Research has shown that this is associated with an increased risk of valve dysfunction and mortality as well as impairment of heart function.Newer pacemakers such as leadless pacemakers and pacemakers that engage directly with the heart's native conduction system (known as left bundle branch pacemakers), are increasingly being adopted. However, the impact of these newer pacing technologies...
