Active clinical trials for "Arrhythmias, Cardiac"

The purpose of this research study is to learn about arrhythmia detection in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For several years patients with OSA have an increased likelihood of having irregular heartbeats. This study will determine how often patients with OSA have irregular heartbeats. This study will also define which OSA patients are most likely to have irregular heartbeats. The participant is being asked to be in the study because the participant has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Three dimensional anatomical mapping is an established method facilitating ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. The most commonly used systems are CARTO® System (Biosense Webster, Inc., Diamond Bar, CA, USA) and EnSite NavX™ (St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA). These two systems has been compared in only a few studies. Recent technical advances resulted in the development of new versions of both systems. To the best of the investigators knowledge no studies have been performed for direct comparison of the newer versions of these two systems. The aim of the study to compare two systems for the use in the ablation of complex arrhythmias.

The Olympus ScopeGuide® is a useful tool in speeding up colonoscopy and making it less painful for patients. It is currently contraindicated by the manufacturer for use with patients with implantable electronic devices (such as cardiac pacemakers). There is no evidence to back up this contraindication and with the number of pacemakers being inserted increasing by around 30 000 annually in the UK, more patients will be denied the use of this device should they require a colonoscopy. Participants with Pacemakers or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators will attend their check appointment. Following this they will be asked to lie with a colonoscope connected to the ScopeGuide® placed onto their abdomen (with clothes on) for 2 minutes. During this time they will be monitored for any irregular cardiac activity which may indicate electromagnetic interference. After this a second device check will occur and the participant will be sent home. The hypothesis is that the ScopeGuide will not interfere with the cardiac devices.

This study investigates if the early detection and treatment of supraventricular arrhythmia (SVA) may help to prevent the progression of the arrhythmia and improve the clinical outcome. The primary endpoint investigates the delay to implement treatment in two groups of patients : Active group: Patients followed by telecardiology. Control group: Patients followed in the conventional manner. It is assumed that the delay to implement treatment will be higher in the Control group.

This is a study of GAP-134, an antiarrhythmic di-peptide. This study will provide an initial assessment of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GAP-134 after administration of ascending single intravenous (IV) doses to healthy Japanese male subjects.

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effects of sodium bicarbonate to normal saline when used for clearing mucus blockage in patients with airway stents.

To determine whether drug treatment of asymptomatic ventricular arrhythmias in post-myocardial infarction patients reduced the incidence of sudden cardiac death and total mortality.

This study aims to design and train a deep learning model for the diagnosis of different arrhythmias.

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases in breast cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT). In addition to regular follow-up of patients by the radiation oncologist for 5 years, cardiovascular screening at the end of follow-up, combining the use of a connected watch and a cardiological check-up, could make it possible to identify precisely the types and frequencies of these sometimes asymptomatic, and probably underestimated, cardiac diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: To assess the incidence of AF and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases occurring within 5 years after RT To evaluate absorbed doses in the heart and cardiac substructures (chambers, conduction nodes, coronaries, pulmonary veins) based on auto-segmentation models developped with deep learning algorithms To investigate whether the risk of AF and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases is associated with cardiac irradiation characterized by these absorbed doses (dose-response relationship) Participants will be included between 2023 and 2025, 5 years after their RT: Retrospective data collection will be based on a medical questionnaire designed to identify cardiac pathologies present prior to RT and those having occured in the past, between RT and 5 years post-RT. Cross-sectional data collection will be based on screening for cardiac pathologies using a connected watch worn for 1 month (silent AF screening) and a cardiology consultation (including ECG and echocardiography) to identify cardiac pathologies at 5 years post-RT possibly not identified in the retrospective data collection.

This research study is a prospective, single-center, feasibility study designed to assess the possibility to detect hemodynamic changes during tachycardia episodes using tissue perfusion.
