AI may speed up heart ablation for Scar-Related arrhythmias

NCT ID NCT06138873

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a computer algorithm (Ablation Index) to guide a heart ablation procedure can reduce the time it takes to treat ventricular tachycardia in people with scarred heart muscle from prior heart attacks. The trial will compare the AI-guided approach to the standard method in 100 participants. The main goal is to see if the AI guidance shortens the total time radiofrequency energy is applied during the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Ablation-index guided ventricular tachycardia ablation (a procedure using radiofrequency energy to destroy heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms, guided by a computer algorithm)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make heart ablation procedures faster and more efficient for patients with scar-related ventricular tachycardia.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (100 participants) testing a procedural technique, not a new drug. The AI guidance may not significantly reduce procedure time or improve outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.

Conditions

The condition(s) this trial relates to.

Tachycardia ventricular tachycardia
