Active clinical trials for "Bradycardia"

Background: Autonomic system modification is an established therapeutic approach that has been increasingly used for the treatment of vagal-related symptomatic bradycardia, such as cardio-inhibitory vasovagal syncope1-12. Although convincing results had been reported from small populations, a large randomized study providing robust evidence on the efficacy of this approach has not yet been performed. Hypothesis: Cardiac autonomic system modification is effective for the treatment of vagal-related symptomatic bradycardia, and is associated better clinical results as compared to placebo.

Coronary artery narrowings interfere with blood flow to the heart which can cause chest pain and heart attacks. Cardiologists can treat these narrowings with balloons and stents. However, some narrowings can become very calcified and hard making treatment with balloons and stents difficult. Rotational atherectomy is a tool to treat calcific coronary disease. It uses an ablative drill to break down the hardened plaques inside the coronary arteries facilitating subsequent treatment with balloons and stents. However, during this procedure patients can experience a slow heart rate which may compromise procedural safety. Cardiologists may use a temporary pacemaker that is inserted by separately accessing the heart through a large vein usually from the leg. This maintains a safe heart rate throughout the procedure. However, inserting the temporary pacemaker is associated with additional complications. We have developed and propose an alternative strategy to provide a temporary safety pacemaker during rotational atherectomy without the need for inserting an additional pacemaker.

The treatment of chronic bradycardia, one of the cardiovascular diseases, remains an essential unsolved issue. The objective of this project is to speed up a new drug CARDIX-101 clinical Phase 1IA trial for the treatment of chronic bradycardia and to solve an unmet medical need. To date, there is no regulatory approved drug of this type available in the U.S or the world. If the new drug CARDIX-101 demonstrated a significant positive effect on chronic bradycardia, it should have a sizeable demand and solve an unmet medical need.

The purpose of the China CIED 3.0T MRI Performance Study is to confirm safety of SureScan CIED in the clinical 3.0T MRI environment when subjects receive MRI scans. ll subjects will have required follow-up visits at baseline, MRI visit, 1-month post-MRI. The MRI scans will occur at the MRI visit. The MRI scan region will be determined by investigator according to the subject's clinical condition.

In Western countries, every sixth person in their lifetime and 15,000 people in Finland have a new stroke each year. About every fourth stroke is based on cardiac embolism. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that increases the risk of thromboembolic complications, such as stroke. It may cause formation of thrombi in the left atrium with ensuing embolization in the cerebral and peripheral circulation. AF is often asymptomatic and paroxysmal. Thus, the diagnosis of AF is often challenging. A new onset AF is usually treated with cardioversion (CV), in which the abnormal rhythm is converted back to sinus rhythm (SR). However, a long-lasting AF (>48 hours) is associated with risk of stroke. Therefore, the duration of AF needs to be known before a CV can be performed. This study evaluates the ability of novel customer-targeted heart measuring devices to detect rhythm change and short AF episodes. Moreover, novel biomarkers will be analyzed from the blood samples of AF patients and their suitability to estimate the duration of AF will be evaluated. The research will be accomplished in cooperation with the Kuopio University Hospital Emergency Department, the Heart Center, the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Eastern Finland and Heart2Save Ltd. The results of the research project will be published in the scientific journals of medicine and medical technology and will be presented at scientific conferences of the respective fields. The research results of the project can be utilized by all companies in the medical technology industry, in particular companies that produce ECG measuring instruments and companies that produce rhythm recognition software.

This registry is performed for the long-term assessment of outcome, performance and residual safety aspects of the BIOMONITOR III and possible successors in a real-life clinical set-up. In addition, this registry is set up in a way that it may also be used as a platform for submodules to investigate additional scientific and regulatory aspects while minimizing the additional effort for the investigational sites and patients.

The purpose of the clinical investigation is to document the safety and the performances of the remote monitoring functions of the ALIZEA, BOREA and CELEA pacemakers, i.e. the RAAT, the RVAT and the remote alerts.

At present, cardiac pacing has been widely used in the treatment of bradyarrhythmias and heart failure, which can effectively improve the survival rate of patients. With the rapid development of technology, different sites can be chosen to pace, such as right atrial appendage, the atrial septum and the right atrial wall in the atrium, His bundle, left bundle branch area, right ventricular apex, outflow tract, and left ventricular pacing via coronary vein in the ventricle. There are few studies comparing the long-term efficacy and safety of different pacing sites in daily practice. This study aims to observe the efficacy and safety of cardiac pacing at different sites in short and long term, and to compare the advantages and disadvantages of pacing at different sites.

Comparison of cardiac synchronization and tricuspid regurgitation with or without leadless pacemaker pacing in different site

The aim of this study is to evaluate mechanical and electrical cardiac dyssynchrony in patients with pacemakers and the right ventricular electrode implanted in His Bundle area.
