Ventricular tachycardia

This study tested an experimental drug called CRD-4730 in people with a rare inherited heart rhythm disorder (CPVT) that can cause dangerous fast heartbeats. Seven adults received two different doses of the drug and a placebo to check safety and how the body processes it. The stu…

This study compared two approaches to reduce shocks in people with an implantable defibrillator (ICD) who had dangerous heart rhythms. One group received antiarrhythmic drugs, the other had a catheter ablation procedure. The trial was a small pilot with only 3 participants and wa…

This study tested a drug called CardiolRx in 90 hospitalized COVID-19 patients who also had heart disease or risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. The goal was to see if the drug could lower the chance of death, needing intensive care, or having heart problems. The t…

This study looked at two types of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads in children and patients with congenital heart disease. The goal was to see which lead type lasts longer without breaking and is easier to remove if needed. The trial was terminated early, so res…

This study tested a device called Efferon LPS that filters blood during heart surgery when a heart-lung machine is used. The goal was to see if it could prevent multiple organ failure, especially kidney damage. Only 14 people took part before the study was stopped, so the results…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae plane block) using the same dose of ropivacaine to manage pain after hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery. It enrolled 28 adults aged 18-80. The trial was terminated early, so findings a…

This study looked at whether letting patients manage their own recovery precautions after heart surgery leads to a better quality of life compared to following standard sternal precautions. Ten adults who had heart surgery were followed for up to a year. Researchers checked pain,…

This study looks at how high blood sugar combined with a medication called moxifloxacin (an antibiotic known to affect heart rhythm) impacts the heart's electrical activity in people with insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes. Researchers will measure changes in heart tracings (ECGs)…

This study looked at how two common pain relievers—celecoxib (a Coxib) and naproxen (an NSAID)—affect blood clotting in people with rheumatoid arthritis who also have heart disease or are at high risk for it. All participants took low-dose aspirin daily. The goal was to see if on…

This study aimed to understand why some people with genetic early-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) are at risk for a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT). Researchers used special heart mapping during a standard AF ablation procedure in 32 adults. The goal was…
