VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

This study looks at how safe and effective a special catheter (FlexAbility SE) is for treating ventricular tachycardia, a fast, dangerous heart rhythm. About 62 people with heart disease who have not gotten better with medication will take part. Researchers will track serious sid…

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

This study compares two treatments for ventricular tachycardia (VT), a fast, dangerous heart rhythm, in people with structural heart disease. One treatment is a procedure called catheter ablation that destroys the tiny heart areas causing the problem. The other is standard anti-a…

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 control life-threatening fast heartbeats. Nineteen adults with a high risk of dangerous heart rhythms will get the device and be followed for …

This study tests a new method for guiding ablation (tissue destruction) in patients with ventricular tachycardia, a dangerous heart rhythm that can cause sudden death. Instead of triggering the dangerous rhythm during the procedure, doctors will target only areas of slow electric…

This early study tests a new type of catheter that uses two forms of energy to treat people with extra or fast heartbeats from the lower chambers. Ten adults who have not gotten better with medication will receive the procedure. The main goal is to see if the catheter is safe and…

This study collects data from 10,000 people worldwide who are having a procedure called catheter ablation for fast or irregular heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia or PVCs). The goal is to track how well the procedure works and any complications over time. No new treatment is bei…
