Summary

This trial will investigate whether using heart ultrasound during pacemaker implantation is effective in helping doctors accurately place wires and reducing procedure time and radiation exposure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients needing a permanent pacemaker or ICD with conduction system pacing lead for slow heart rate or to coordinate heartbeats. They must be willing to follow the study's procedures and be available throughout its duration. It's not for those who can't consent, are pregnant, or in another study that could affect results.
What is being tested?
The study observes if using a heart ultrasound during pacemaker implantation helps doctors place wires accurately, reduces procedure time, and cuts down on x-ray use. Participants will undergo exams, ECGs, ultrasounds during implantation, and device checks post-implant.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an observational study focusing on the process of pacemaker implantation rather than testing new drugs or treatments directly, side effects are related to standard risks of the procedure itself such as discomfort from echocardiograms and potential complications from pacemaker insertion.
