New catheter aims to quiet stubborn heart palpitations
NCT ID NCT07541092
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special mapping catheter (Optrell) can better locate and treat heart rhythm problems coming from the papillary muscles, which are small muscle bumps inside the heart. About 20 adults with frequent or bothersome premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the catheter helps doctors map the heart more accurately and eliminate the abnormal beats both right after the procedure and at 3 months.
