New 3D mapping may cut radiation during heart procedure
NCT ID NCT07630480
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two ways to treat a type of fast heartbeat called AVNRT. One method uses standard X-ray guidance, while the other uses a 3D map of the heart. Researchers wanted to see if the 3D approach reduces radiation exposure. The trial involved 80 adults with confirmed AVNRT who were randomly assigned to one of the two techniques.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- catheter ablation procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that 3D mapping reduces radiation exposure during heart ablation while maintaining effectiveness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The 3D mapping technique may not improve success rates or reduce recurrence.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Sustained symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia with surface ECG features highly suggestive of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). * Electrophysiologically confirmed typical (slow-fast) AVNRT during the index electrophysiology study. * Ability to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Coexisting arrhythmia requiring concurrent catheter ablation during the same procedure. * Non-inducible AVNRT at the time of electrophysiological study. * Antiarrhythmic drug use within 48 hours before the procedure or ongoing amiodarone therapy. * Hemodynamic instability precluding safe catheter manipulation. * Pregnancy.
