VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

This study is testing a non-invasive radiation treatment for people with a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT) that hasn't responded to standard drugs or procedures. The treatment uses precise, high-dose radiation to target small areas of scar tissue in the…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive radiation treatment is as good as or better than the standard procedure for reducing episodes of a dangerous, fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It will involve 60 adults with underlying heart disease who are at high ris…

This study is testing whether a sedative medication called dexmedetomidine can help control a life-threatening condition called 'electrical storm,' where the heart's lower chambers beat dangerously fast and repeatedly. About 192 adult patients admitted to intensive care with this…

This study is testing a single, precise dose of radiation to treat a dangerous, fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia in patients who haven't been helped by standard drugs or procedures. The goal is to see if this one-time treatment can safely and effectively reduce th…

This study is testing whether using an AI-guided tool during a heart procedure can make the treatment faster and more precise. It focuses on patients who have had a heart attack and now experience a dangerous, fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. Researchers will com…

This is a first-in-human safety study testing a new medical device called the FieldForce Ablation System. The device uses pulsed electrical fields to treat patients with dangerous ventricular tachycardia or frequent premature heartbeats. The goal is to see if this new, non-therma…

This study aims to see if surgery to repair a leaky, floppy mitral heart valve can reduce dangerous irregular heartbeats and heart scarring in patients who have both conditions. Researchers will follow 90 patients needing this standard surgery, checking their heart rhythms and pe…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive radiation treatment against the current standard surgery for a dangerous, fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT). It aims to see if a 15-minute outpatient radiation session can control VT as well as or better than a long, i…

This study is testing a new medical device designed to treat a dangerous rapid heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia. The device is a special catheter that uses heat energy (radiofrequency ablation) to create small scars on the heart to block faulty electrical signals. The pro…

This study compares two different heart mapping techniques used to guide a procedure called catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia, a dangerous, fast heart rhythm. Researchers want to see if one method is better than the other at preventing the rhythm problem from coming b…

This study is for people with a dangerous, hard-to-treat heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It tests if giving one dose of targeted radiation is as safe and effective as giving three smaller doses. The goal is to reduce the number of dangerous heart rhythm episodes with…

This study is testing a new, paddle-shaped catheter designed to create detailed maps of irregular heartbeats. Doctors will use it on 60 patients with conditions like atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia to see if it's safe and works well. The goal is to see if this tool…

This study aims to understand if people with specific genetic changes and early-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) are also at risk for dangerous rapid heart rhythms from the lower heart chambers (ventricular tachycardia). Researchers will test 200 adults already scheduled for a stan…

This study aims to identify which patients with genetic forms of early-onset atrial fibrillation are at higher risk for dangerous ventricular arrhythmias. Researchers will use specialized heart imaging and electrical mapping during scheduled procedures to look for hidden scar tis…

This early research aims to understand how temporarily blocking specific neck nerves affects dangerous rapid heart rhythms in patients with ventricular tachycardia. The study involves 20 adults who are already scheduled for a heart procedure to treat their rhythm problem. Researc…

This study is testing a new imaging technique to better understand dangerous, fast heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia) that can cause sudden death. Researchers want to see if combining special heart scans with detailed electrical maps can help doctors more accurately target trea…

This study aims to learn why some damaged hearts develop dangerous, fast rhythms called ventricular tachycardia (VT). Researchers will use a special catheter to measure tiny electrical signals in the heart muscle of 10 patients already scheduled for a standard VT treatment proced…

This study aims to find out if asking patients more often about their quality of life gives a better picture of the benefits of a heart procedure called catheter ablation. It will compare this procedure to standard medication in 70 adults who have a defibrillator and a dangerous …
