VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

This study looks at a special pacemaker feature that automatically sends painless signals to stop dangerously fast heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia). Researchers want to confirm it works well in everyday medical practice. About 2,200 people who already have or will get this pa…

This study compares two treatments for ventricular tachycardia (VT), a fast heart rhythm that can be life-threatening, in people with structural heart disease. About 162 participants will either get a catheter ablation (a procedure to destroy the tiny area causing the problem) or…

This study tests a new approach for treating ventricular tachycardia (VT), a fast heart rhythm that can cause sudden death. Instead of triggering VT during the procedure, doctors will only target areas of slow electrical signals in the heart. The goal is to make ablation safer an…

This study looks at a special catheter (FlexAbility SE) used to treat a fast, dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. Researchers followed 62 people with heart disease to see if the catheter is safe and works well over 12 months. The goal is to control the conditio…

This early study tests a new type of catheter that uses two forms of energy to treat abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular arrhythmias). The goal is to see if it is safe and can stop the problem for at least 3 months. The study involves 10 adults who have not gotten better with med…

This study tests a new type of wire (lead) for an implantable heart device called an ICD. The lead is placed under the breastbone to help the device shock the heart back to a normal rhythm if a dangerous arrhythmia occurs. The study includes 19 adults who need an ICD and will fol…

This study is a large international registry that will collect information from 10,000 people who are having a heart procedure called catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (a fast, abnormal heart rhythm) or related conditions. The goal is to track how well the procedure w…
