Study Summary

This trial will study the performance of a heart device during exercise & elevated heart rates in participants who already have it implanted. They'll undergo tests & wear a monitor. Each participant will be in the study for 6 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with high-grade atrioventricular heart block who need a Micra AV pacemaker and can walk on a treadmill or ride a bike. It's not for those with physical disabilities preventing safe testing, pregnant women, patients unable to consent, or anyone with conditions that make exercise testing unsafe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of the Micra AV 2.0 device in tracking heart activity during rest and exercise in patients requiring pacing due to heart block. Participants will have this device implanted, undergo treadmill tests, wear a Holter monitor, and be monitored up to six months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this trial, typical risks may include discomfort from wearing the Holter monitor or complications related to having the Micra AV pacemaker like infection or lead displacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What potential risks does participation in Micra AV Exercise Testing pose to individuals?

"Clinical data indicates that the Micra AV Exercise Testing system is safe and has been approved, thus it achieved a score of 3."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical trial open to new participants?

"Clinicaltrials.gov reports that this medical trial, which was first published on July 1st 2023 and recently updated shortly after on the 21st of June, is not presently recruiting patients. Nevertheless, there are 20 other trials actively searching for new participants at present."

Answered by AI

What objective is this exploration seeking to accomplish?

"Over a 6 month period, the aim of this medical trial is to gauge average tracking index during exercise. Secondary objectives include measuring average total AV synchrony during both physical activity and recovery (calculated as AM-VP percentage plus AM-VS percentage), as well as an assessment of Average tracking index across 10 bpm ranges between 55 bpm and 135 bpm."
