Sick Sinus Syndrome

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial designed to determine whether direct capture of the left ventricular conduction system must be achieved as the procedural endpoint of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), or whether left ventricular septal capture alone is sufficient to obtain comparable clinical outcomes. A total of 300 patients aged 19 years or older who have a guideline-based indication for permanent pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmia, an expected ventricular pacing burden of 40% or more, and a planned LBBAP procedure will be enrolled at 5 or more centers in the Republic of Korea. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF \<50% versus \>=50%), to one of two procedural strategies: 1. LBBP mandatory group - the implanting operator continues the procedure, repositioning the lead as required, until left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) or left fascicular pacing (LFP) is confirmed by at least one predefined conduction system capture criterion. 2. LVSP enough group - the operator may complete the procedure at his or her discretion once left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP) is confirmed, irrespective of whether direct conduction system capture is achieved. The same commercially approved lead and pulse generator platform is used in both groups, so the randomized variable is the procedural endpoint strategy rather than the device. The primary outcome measure is the absolute change in LVEF from baseline to 12 months, adjudicated by a blinded central echocardiography core laboratory. Secondary outcome measures include echocardiographic response, pacing-induced cardiomyopathy, procedure-related major complications, procedure and fluoroscopy time, paced QRS duration, acute procedural success, achievement and long-term maintenance of conduction system capture, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy, and new-onset atrial fibrillation. All participants are followed for 12 months after implantation, with study visits at 2 weeks to 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months. The primary analysis follows the intention-to-treat principle, with a prespecified per-protocol analysis according to whether conduction system capture was actually achieved.

This study is a prospective, single-arm, single-center feasibility study evaluating the safety and feasibility of transjugular (internal jugular vein) implantation of the Aveir VR leadless ventricular pacemaker in patients requiring ventricular pacing. A total of 15 patients will be enrolled at Xijing Hospital. The primary objective is to assess procedural feasibility and acute safety (from intraoperative to 48 hours post-procedure). Secondary objectives include short-term (1 to 3 months) pacing parameter stability (threshold, R-wave amplitude, impedance), technical success rate, procedure-related metrics, and adverse event rates.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of different atrial pacing sites-Bachmann's bundle pacing versus right atrial appendage pacing-on the development and progression of atrial cardiomyopathy in patients diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome who are undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation.

Bradyarrhythmias are conditions where the heart beats too slowly, causing symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and fatigue. In some patients, these slow heart rhythms are caused by overactivity of the vagus nerve (the part of the nervous system that slows the heart down). Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a catheter-based procedure that targets and reduces the effect of these overactive nerves on the heart. It is an alternative to permanent pacemaker implantation, especially for younger patients. Traditionally, CNA is performed using radiofrequency (RF) energy to create small burns in specific areas of the heart. This study investigates whether focal cryoablation (freezing technology using the Freezor™ Xtra catheter) is as safe and effective as standard RF ablation for CNA. This is a prospective, non-randomized study. Participants will receive either RF ablation (N=30) or cryoablation (N=30). The study will evaluate the recurrence of slow heart rhythms and fainting episodes, as well as any complications, over 12 months of follow-up.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two pacemaker strategies: Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP) and Minimized Ventricular Pacing (MVP) in patients requiring a permanent pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome and prolonged AV interval. It will also evaluate the safety and feasibility of the LBBAP method in these patients. The main questions it aims to answer is: \*Is LBBAP with physiological AV interval better than Minimized Ventricular Pacing? Researchers will compare the LBBAP group (aiming for conduction system capture with physiological AV intervals) to the MVP group (aiming to minimize ventricular pacing with prolonged AV intervals) to evaluate the optimal pacing strategy. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the LBBAP group or the MVP group. * Undergo a pacemaker implantation procedure according to the specific criteria for their assigned group. * Visit the clinic for regular checkups to measure pacing function and ensure the device settings remain compliant with the study protocol.

PACE-AF is a prospective, observational patient registry designed to evaluate the impact of pacemaker algorithms on atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence, progression, and clinical outcomes in patients implanted with dual-chamber pacemakers. The registry aims to include 400-500 patients with longitudinal follow-up. Primary outcomes are progression to permanent AF and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, hospitalization, and cardiovascular events.

Objective: This clinical study employs a prospective, paired, self-controlled, non-inferiority, multicenter research design to assess the safety and efficacy of utilizing 5G cloud follow-up for CIED in parameters monitoring and remote programming post-implantation. Participants will: undergo regular clinic follow-up visits in accordance with the guidelines undergo routine in-office follow-up and 5G cloud follow-up during each regular clinic visit

This is a multicenter prospective randomized blind controlled trial with a sham procedure group of the efficacy and safety of cardioneuroablation as a method of treating symptomatic bradycardia without a permanent pacemaker implantation
