New mapping tool aims to speed up heart procedure
NCT ID NCT06939478
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special mapping tool called vMap can help doctors perform heart ablations more efficiently for people with irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). Researchers tracked 112 patients to see if using vMap reduced procedure time and improved success rates. The goal was to gather information, not to prove a treatment works.

Retrospective Arm: Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who had a standard of care cardiac ablation (de novo or repeat) where the vMap equipment was used. 2. The patient can provide written informed consent, if applicable. 3. The patient is greater than or equal to 18 years old Prospective Arm: Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who had a standard of care cardiac ablation (de novo or repeat) where the vMap equipment was used. 2. The patient can provide written informed consent, if applicable. 3. The patient is greater than or equal to 18 years old Exclusion Criteria: Participants who meet any one of the following criteria will be a screen failure and excluded from participation: 1. Non-inducible arrhythmia (unless pre-mapped via vMap prior to the procedure). 2. Patients in whom no ablation was performed using the vMap equipment. 3. Inability to obtain 12-lead ECG of sufficient quality for vMap analysis. 4. In the opinion of the Investigator, the participant is not suitable and has a contraindication to undergo the ablation procedure.
