U.S., Sept. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07173777) titled 'Cardiac Anodal Biphasic Pacing' on Sept. 08.
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to test a new pacing method called anodal biphasic pacing (ABP) to determine if this pacing works as well-or better-than current pacing methods. This new method may improve how the heart works and reduce some of the problems caused by regular pacing.
Current implantable pacemakers use a monophasic cathodal waveform to stimulate the heart. Monophasic cathodal pacing (MCP) waveforms slow conduction, impair contractility, cause inflammation, increase risk of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and mortality. Anodal biphasic pacing (ABP) is an altern...
