VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

This study tests a new device that combines two heart therapies: one to strengthen heartbeats and another to stop dangerous rhythms. About 300 adults with heart failure and a weak heart pump will get the device. Researchers will check if it safely converts life-threatening heart …

This early study tests a new catheter that uses two types of energy (radiofrequency and pulsed field) to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers. Ten adults with drug-resistant ventricular arrhythmias will receive the procedure. The main goal is to check safety and see if …

This study tests a new mapping method for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation that avoids purposely triggering VT. Instead, it uses special software to identify slow-conduction areas during normal heart rhythm. The goal is to see if this approach reduces VT recurrence, death, o…

This trial tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation works better than anti-arrhythmic drugs for people with structural heart disease who have had a dangerous fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia). About 162 participants will be randomly assigned to either ablation…

This early study tests a new type of lead (a wire) for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in 19 people who need one. The lead is placed under the breastbone to deliver a shock if the heart beats dangerously fast. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well enough…

This study is checking how well a special pacemaker feature called iATP works in everyday medical practice. The iATP automatically sends tiny, painless electrical pulses to stop a fast, dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. Researchers are tracking 2,200 people w…

This study follows 62 people with non-ischemic structural heart disease who have recurrent, drug-resistant ventricular tachycardia. They are treated with the FlexAbility SE ablation catheter, which uses heat to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the abnormal rhythm. Rese…

This study tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound method called electromechanical wave imaging (EWI) to see if it can more accurately locate and diagnose heart rhythm problems compared to standard tests. About 322 adults already scheduled for a heart procedure will get an EWI scan …

This study is a large international registry that collects information from patients who have a heart ablation procedure for ventricular tachycardia or premature ventricular contractions. The goal is to track how well the procedure works and any complications, helping doctors imp…
