Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is a life threatening heart rhythm that comes from the bottom chambers of the heart (the ventricles) and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. The majority of patients that are at risk of VT or suffer a cardiac arrest will have an Internal Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) in situ to treat the abnormal heart rhythm. The ICD can deliver a painful shock to restore normal heart rhythm but importantly does not treat the underlying cause. Current treatment for the prevention of recurrent VT include catheter ablation (CA) or medication. Long-term results with global 12 month VT-free survival rates with CA are around 50%. The trial is to compare 2 different types of ablation catheter that are used to cauterise small areas of unhealthy tissue within the heart that are responsible for VT: Diamond Temp (DT) and Tacticath/Tactiflex (TF). Our hypothesis is that the DT ablation catheter will provide comparable efficacy and safety for the treatment of VT as the current industry gold standard (TF).

Radiosurgery for the Treatment of Refractory Ventricular Extrasystoles and Tachycardias

Ventricular Tachycardia

Patients with refractory ventricular extrasystoles or tachycardia not eligible for catheter ablation will receive single fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (cardiac radiosurgery) with 25 Gy. Investigators initiated this study to demonstrate that in at least 70% of the patients the planned cardiac radiosurgery may be performed without any interruption or treatment related interventional events within the first 30 days after treatment.

Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation for Ventricular Tachycardia Management

Stereotactic Radioablation for Ventricular Tachycardia

Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation (STAR) ablation is a safe and feasible option for cardiomyopathy patients for management of refractory ventricular tachycardia. STAR can be performed with available cardiac imaging, prior mapping/electrogram information, and standard ECGs without a multi-electrode ECG vest.

Ablation at Virtual-hEart pRedicted Targets for VT

Ventricular TachycardiaIschemic Cardiomyopathy

The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of the new imaging/simulation ("virtual heart") approach for determining the optimal ablation sites in patients with VT, which render post-infarction VT non-inducible. The study will test both the acute outcome of the ablation procedure, and the effect the use of the predicted targets has upon procedure time.

Preventive VT Substrate Ablation in Ischemic Heart Disease

Ventricular TachycardiaVentricular Arrythmia5 more

The investigators hypothesize that preventive VT substrate ablation in patients with chronic ICM, previously selected based on imaging criteria (BZC mass) for their likely high arrhythmic risk, is safe and effective in preventing clinical VT events.

A Clinical Trial Utilizing Dantrolene in Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Ventricular Tachycardia

This is a randomized, placebo controlled trial of Dantrolene (N= 84 participants) to demonstrate the feasibility of using I.V. dantrolene to study the effect of RyR2 inhibition on cardiac electrophysiology, hemodynamics and ventricular arrhythmia inducibility in patients with structural heart disease referred for VT ablation. The investigators will also explore the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship of I.V. dantrolene and it short-term effect on specific cardiac electrophysiologic and hemodynamic parameters.

Catheter Ablation Versus Anti-arrhythmic Drugs for Ventricular Tachycardia

Heart Disease Structural DisorderVentricular Tachycardia10 more

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important clinical sequela in patients with structural heart disease. VT generally occurs as a result of electrical re-entry in the presence of arrhythmogenic substrate (scar). Scar tissue forms due to an ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) from prior coronary obstructive disease or a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) from an inflammatory or genetic disease. AADs can reduce VT recurrence, but have significant limitations in treatment of VT. For example, amiodarone has high rates of side effects/toxicities and a finite effective usage before recurrence. ICDs prevent cardiac arrest and sudden death from VT, but do not stop VT occurring. Recurrent VT and ICD therapies decrease QOL, increase hospital visits, mortality, morbidity and risk of death. Improvement in techniques for mapping and ablation of VT have made CA an alternative. Currently, there is limited evidence to guide clinicians either toward AAD therapy or CA in patients with NICM. This data shows significant benefit of CA over medical therapy in terms of VT free survival, survival free of VT storm and VT burden. Observational studies suggest that CA is effective in eliminating VT in NICM patients who have failed AADs, resulting in reduction of VT burden and AAD use over long term follow up. Furthermore, there is limited data on the efficacy of CA in early ICM with VT, or advanced ICM with VT. RCT data is almost exclusively on patients with modest ICM with VT, and this is not representative of the real-world scenario of patients with structural heart disease presenting with VT. Therefore the primary objective is to determine in all patients with structural heart disease and spontaneous or inducible VT, if catheter ablation compared to standard medical therapy with anti-arrhythmic drugs results in a reduction of a composite endpoint of recurrent VT, VT storm and death at a median follow up of 18 months.

Randomized Assessment of TcMS for VT Storm

Ventricular Tachycardia

Three-arm randomized clinical trial comparing two strategies of TcMS to sham stimulation in patients with VT storm. The hypothesis of the study is that TcMS will reduce the burden of VT in the 24 hours after randomization compared to sham stimulation and that TcMS with theta burst stimulation (TBS) will be more effective at reducing VT burden than low frequency TcMS.
