Heart rhythm battle: zapping vs. pills for Life-Threatening condition
NCT ID NCT05524077
Summary
This study compares two approaches for controlling dangerous rapid heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia) in people with weakened heart muscles. Researchers are testing whether a procedure called catheter ablation (using heat or cold to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the rhythm problem) works better than standard anti-arrhythmic medications. The trial involves 162 adults who have already experienced these dangerous rhythms and aims to see which treatment better prevents future episodes, reduces hospital visits, and improves survival over 18 months.
