Scientists probe hidden electrical clues behind deadly heart rhythms

NCT ID NCT05478213

First seen Nov 14, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with heart disease develop dangerous heart rhythms called ventricular tachycardia. Researchers will measure the electrical signals in heart tissue during a routine procedure to identify which areas trigger the abnormal rhythm. The goal is to improve future treatments by pinpointing the exact spots that cause the problem. Ten adults with ischemic cardiomyopathy and an implantable defibrillator will take part.
