Acute Salt Handling in Orthostatic Intolerance
Postural Tachycardia SyndromeOrthostatic Tachycardia1 moreThe investigators will test the hypothesis that patients with chronic orthostatic intolerance or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (OI or POTS) will be unable to conserve urinary sodium as compared to healthy control subjects.
Creation of a Pace-mapping Atlas on Healthy and Pathological Hearts
Ventricular TachycardiaAim of this study is to collect data from pace mapping performed in three groups of patients : patients presenting ventricular tachycardia and infarction history, patients presenting infarction history without presenting ventricular tachycardia, and in patients without structural heart disease.
Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia Ablation With Irrigated Catheter and Three-dimensional...
Atrioventricular Nodal Re Entrant TachycardiaThe WATER ATTAC study aims at multicentric, longitudinal, perspective evaluation of safety and efficacy of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) performed combining irrigated ablation catheter and three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system. Efficacy and rate of complications will be evaluated over medium and long term follow-up.
Baseline Atrial Fibrosis Predicts Risk for Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing...
Atrial FibrillationAtrial Arrhythmia2 moreThe study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence of atrial arrhythmias (including Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF), atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia) stratified by baseline Utah fibrosis stages and overall fibrosis (%) of the left atrial wall area. The investigators hypothesize that patients with a higher baseline Utah fibrosis staging will experience a higher incidence of POAF. The study also aims to evaluate and compare the in-hospital mortality, length-of-stay (LOS), complication rates (strokes, pneumonia, respiratory failure etc.) of the different Utah fibrosis stage cohorts. Perform cost analysis and compare between patients with POAF and patients without POAF. The investigators hypothesize that patients experiencing POAF will have a higher mortality rate, longer LOS, greater complications, and therefore, additional hospital costs.
Healthy-related Quality of Life and Physical Activity of Children With Cardiac Malformations
Long QT SyndromeBrugada Syndrome5 moreThe QUALIMYORYTHM trial is a multicentre controlled study, aiming to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of 107 children aged 6 to 18 years old with inherited cardiac arrhythmia (long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia), or inherited cardiomyopathies (hypertrophic, dilated, or restrictive cardiomyopathy), and to compare the results to those of 107 age and gender-matched healthy subjects. The secondary objective is to assess, in this population, the HRQoL according to disease characteristics, level of physical activity, exercise capacity, and socio-demographic data. Participants will wear a fitness tracker for 2 weeks.
Ablation of Supraventricular Arrhythmias With As Low As Reasonably Achievable X-Ray Exposure
TachycardiaSupraventricularObservational study is to demonstrate a clinically significant reduction of ionizing radiation exposure during transcatheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardias using the EnSite precision mapping system in a real-world clinical setting without compromising efficacy and safety.
Prague Registry of Electric Cardioversion
Atrial FibrillationAtrial Flutter2 moreThis single-center observational registry follows contemporary efficacy and short-term complications of elective electric cardioversion.
A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Patients Undergoing VT Ablation
ArrhythmiaVentricular Tachycardia (VT)Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been shown to be beneficial in multiple studies including heart failure. The goal of this clinical investigation is to gain additional information about how vagus nerve stimulation relates to abnormal heart rhythms. The outcomes of this study will help researchers design new therapies for patients that have complex and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
Surpoint Algorithm for Improved Guidance of Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular TachycardiaVistag SurPoint is a proprietary module that generates a numerical tag index which can be used as multiparametric lesion quality marker to guide ablation in the clinical setting for ablation of atrial arrhythmias. SurPoint tag index has studied to guide ablation of ventricular arrhythmias, such as premature ventricular complexes, but its effectiveness and safety for ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in patient with Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathies is not well established. In this single center prospective observation registry, a ventricular ablation strategy utilizing radiofrequency delivery duration cut off determined by a maximum Surpoint index value of 550 will be compared to conventional operator determined duration of radiofrequency delivery based on combination of time (i.e. 30, 60, 90, and 120 seconds), magnitude of impedance drop, attenuation of abnormal electrograms, and achieving non-capture with high-output pacing after ablation. The Surpoint Tag Index Ablation group will be matched with a control group of patients undergoing VT ablation using the conventional time-based radiofrequency strategy and the patients in this group will be selected using propensity matching based on relevant baseline patient and clinical characteristic variables. Primary outcomes of interest: Recurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia or Internal Cardiac Defibrillator Therapy. Secondary outcomes of interest: Hospitalization for ventricular tachycardia, repeat ablation procedures, all-cause mortality, acute procedural complications, rate of steam pops during ablation procedures Follow up: Up to 24 months after ablation procedure. Follow up will be obtained by office visits and device interrogation reports.
Abbott Ventricular Tachycardia PAS
Ventricular TachycardiaThis post-approval study (PAS) is designed to provide continued clinical evidence to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the FlexAbilityTM Ablation Catheter, Sensor EnabledTM (FlexAbility SE) for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia in a post-market environment. This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, multi-center, observational study.
