CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA

This early study tests a new device that uses a special wire with radiofrequency energy to safely cross the wall between the heart's upper chambers. This step is needed for procedures that treat heart rhythm problems or close the left atrial appendage. The study will enroll 60 ad…

This study tests a new device called the CellFX nsPFA catheter, which uses short electrical pulses instead of heat to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring normal rhythm in 215 adults who …

This study tests a new device called the CellFX Nano-PFA 360 catheter, which uses very short electrical pulses to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). About 60 adults aged 18 to 75 with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation will receive this procedure. The goal is to see …

This study tests a single, precise dose of radiation to the heart to treat dangerous arrhythmias in 60 patients who haven't improved with medication or standard procedures. Researchers will monitor changes in heart rhythm events and medication use over 18 months. The goal is to s…

This study compares two procedures for treating persistent atrial fibrillation (AF): catheter ablation (which scars tiny areas in the heart to block faulty signals) and DC cardioversion (an electric shock to restore normal rhythm). Researchers want to see which one better prevent…

This study compares a new wearable armband called HeartWatch to the standard Holter monitor for detecting heart rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation. About 300 adults who need a Holter test will wear both devices at the same time. The goal is to see if the HeartWatch can accu…

This study looks at a new, less invasive way to monitor blood flow during heart ablation procedures. Doctors will use a special device to track heart function beat-by-beat. The goal is to see if this method helps improve care for 27 adult patients having heart ablation.

This study is developing an AI system that tracks tumors and organs during radiation therapy without needing physical markers. Researchers will use existing patient data to train and test the AI. If it works, it could help doctors target radiation more accurately. The study invol…

This study is looking for new genes and blood markers linked to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AVC), a genetic heart condition that can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac arrest. Researchers will enroll 1,000 people, including patients with AVC or unexplained cardiac arrest…

This study tests whether a balloon device, called REBOA, can be safely used by emergency teams outside a hospital to improve blood flow in people whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest). The balloon is inserted into the main artery and inflated to redirect blood to the heart and…

This study is collecting information from 280 people who need a heart rhythm procedure using BIOTRONIK catheters, external devices, or sheaths. The goal is to track how well the devices work and any problems that may happen during or shortly after the procedure. It is a routine s…

This study collects blood and tissue samples from 2,000 people with or without heart rhythm problems. Researchers will analyze the samples to find genetic differences linked to arrhythmias. The goal is to better understand the causes of these conditions, not to test a new treatme…
