Active clinical trials for "Tachycardia"

Demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Ablacath™ Mapping Catheter and Ablamap® System in patients with all types of atrial fibrillation (AF) including paroxysmal or persistent or long-standing persistent, undergoing and De Novo or Redo procedures. Phenotype patients and demonstrate the prognostication power of Electrographic Flow (EGF®) maps among all subjects using 12-month follow-up outcomes following EGF-guided mapping and ablation.

The infants diagnosed with SVT are treated with antiarrhythmic medication to prevent the recurrence of SVT. This prospective observational cohort study evaluates efficacy and safety of shortening duration of antiarrhythmic medication to four months in infants with SVT. Primary outcome is incidence of recurrent SVT in infants after 4 months of antiarrhythmic medication compared to retrospectively reviewed cohort.

Medtronic is sponsoring the Intrinsic Antitachycardia Pacing Post-Approval Study (iATP PAS) to further confirm safety and effectiveness of ventricular iATP therapy in routine clinical practice, following commercial release of iATP-capable devices. The iATP PAS is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Registry platform (NCT01524276).

Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) are the most common causes of sudden cardiac death in patients with diseased hearts. The factors contributing to these deadly arrhythmias are not well understood. The presence of a wide variety of microbial flora in the human GI tract, particularly colon has been well recognized for a long time. There are also emerging links showing the effect of an intact gut microbiome having effects on left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and hypertension. Gut microbiota has also been associated with outcomes in atrial fibrillation. There is little available in current literature showing a relationship between gut microbiome characteristics and ventricular arrhythmia burden. The gut microbiome has particularly strong interactions with neuroendocrine and immunologic mediators and has effects on the modulation of the autonomic nervous system. These systems are also hypothesized to influence ventricular arrhythmias. The investigators propose to study the relation and interaction between gut microbiome and ventricular arrhythmogenesis.

S-ICD avoids the use intravascular leads and their associated risks, has been increasingly used for primary and secondary prevention of sudden death. The long-term safety and feasible of S-ICD system in Asian population with a smaller body size remain unclear. The investigators propose to perform a prospective study in Korean population to investigate the safety and feasibility of S-ICD for primary or secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

The Thermedical Ablation System and Durablate catheter is indicated for use in patients with recurrent, sustained, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) refractory to drug therapy and conventional (approved) catheter ablation. Subjects with recurrent, SMVT refractory to drug therapy and conventional catheter ablation who are not eligible for, or will not likely benefit from repeat endocardial ablation using an approved catheter.

The aim of the present work is to analyze the capacity of high resolution mapping systems to determine the precise location of the AV node and peri-nodal slow-conducting pathways, using standard recording parameters, but also off-line additional filter changes and additional techniques (conduction velocities, isochrones and dV/dt). The investigative team plan a prospective monocentric study. Detailed high resolution mapping of the Koch triangle and neighboring areas will be collected through the RHYTHMIA HDx 3D electro-anatomical mapping system and the multipolar ORION catheter. This sample will consist of 2 groups of patients: the first will include patients referred for AVNRT ablation and the second will include control patients (without AVNRT), referred for another indication requiring similar mapping system. If visualized, position of the slow pathway and AV node will be compared with the ablation areas, which will be set conventionally under fluoroscopy.

Many patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) experience debilitating fatigue and this significantly impacts their daily lives. Unfortunately, there are no treatments to help POTS patients with their fatigue. One medication, called low dose naltrexone (LDN), has been tested as a treatment for fatigue in other medical conditions. In this other research, LDN helped patients feel less fatigue. Other research studies have shown that LDN can help reduce markers of inflammation called cytokines. Reducing these cytokines could help reduce symptoms as well. There have been no research studies testing LDN in POTS to date. We are planning to do a research study to test LDN as a treatment to see if it helps POTS patients feel less fatigue.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, sponsor unblinded, placebo-controlled, single-dose clinical study of CRD-4730 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CRD-4730 when administered as single oral doses to participants with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT). The study will have 2 cohorts in which participants with CPVT will participate in a 3-period, randomized 2-sequence study. Each participant will receive 2 different doses of CRD-4730 and 1 dose of matching placebo, with each study drug administered as a single dose.

The "Long-term Outcome and Predictors for Recurrence after Medical and Interventional Treatment of Arrhythmias at the University Heart Center Hamburg" (TRUST) study is an investor-initiated, single-center, prospective clinical cohort study including patients treated with cardiac arrhythmias or at high risk for cardiac arrhythmias. The design enables prospective, low-threshold, near complete inclusion of patients with arrhythmias treated at the UHZ. Collection of routine follow-up data, detailed procedural information and systematic biobanking will enable precise and robust phenotyping.
