NCT ID NCT06543173

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a preventive heart ablation procedure, done soon after implanting a defibrillator (ICD), can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with heart failure and high risk. About 62 participants with weak hearts and prior heart damage will be randomly assigned to either ablation plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if ablation lowers the number of rhythm events and hospital visits.
