Active clinical trials for "Tachycardia"

Many arrhythmias detected in the ventricular fibrillation (VF)-zone picture monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and, hence, could be terminated by antitachycardia pacing (ATP) treatment. Advantages of successful ATP are the painlessness termination and the shortened duration of arrhythmia. The ATP One Shot algorithm is integrated in the latest family of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) from BIOTRONIK (Lumax). It allows a single delivery of ATP before charging capacitors to terminate lethal arrhythmia by painful shock. The present study evaluates the efficacy of the ATP One Shot algorithm for the termination of fast VT episodes. 200 patients with secondary prophylactic ICD indication will be followed for 18 months. Spontaneous episodes detected in the VF-zone of the ICD will be evaluated with regard to cycle length, episode duration and course of device therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-1101 in postoperative supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.

This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-centered study to compare 6 months of medical treatment with digoxin or propranolol in infants with SVT Background: SVT is the most common sustained arrhythmia of infancy. Neither digoxin nor propranolol has been evaluated for pediatric use in a controlled trial in the context of SVT, yet both medications are used frequently. Specific aims of the study: To determine whether propranolol and digoxin differ in the: Incidence of recurrent SVT in infants after 6 months of treatment with propranolol or digoxin Time to first recurrence of SVT in infants treated with propranolol or digoxin. Incidence of adverse outcomes in infants treated with propranolol or digoxin.

The purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the difference in efficacy of two sequences of ATP therapies (burst 15 pulses, 88% versus burst 8 pulses, 88%) during an episode of spontaneous rhythms classified as fast ventricular tachycardia (FVT) via ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients who have a Class I or II A indication for ICD implantation, and thus to promote the "painless" therapy aspect of ICD treatment and improve quality of life outcomes for patients.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficiency on AT / AF prevention and termination of a new algorithm contained in the Medtronic AT500 Antitachycardia device in patients with conventional pacemaker indications.

To evaluate if use of an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) results in reduction in total mortality, when compared with conventional pharmacological therapy, in patients resuscitated from sudden cardiac death who are otherwise at very high risk of mortality from arrhythmic causes.

This study will evaluate the acute effect of one single bout of high intensity exercise on the tendency for ventricular arrhythmia.

This is a two-part, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of etripamil NS self-administered by patients who experience an episode of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in an at-home setting. Part 1 comprised the conduct of the NODE-301 study up to the date of the adjudication of 150th positively adjudicated PSVT episode and Part 2 comprises the conduct of the NODE-301 study after the completion of Part 1. The RAPID Study (NODE-301 - Part 2) will enroll patients enrolled during Part 1 who had not dosed with the double-blind study drug, or had not discontinued the study before the adjudication of the 150th positively adjudicated PSVT episode in Part 1, and patients enrolled into the study following the completion of Part 1. Enrollment will continue until and for approximately 6 months after the date of the adjudication of the 180th positively adjudicated PSVT episode. The study will include the following visits: A Screening Visit, A Test Dose Randomization Visit, Monthly Follow-up Visits, A Randomized Treatment Period, A Randomized Treatment Period Follow-Up Visit, An Open-Label Treatment Period, and A Final Study Visit.

To compare the efficacy and safety of substrate-based radiofrequency catheter ablation vs. antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and scar-related sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is treated with radiofrequency ablation recently. This procedure is performed by ablating slow pathway or accessory pathway using radiofrequency ablation catheter. Recently developed mirofidelity (MIFI) catheter has mini-electrodes that can record local eletrogram with higher resolution. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of MIFI catheter in the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation catheter. Enrolled patients undergo conventional electrophysiologic study. Patients with sustained supraventricular tachycardia during the study are randomized to either study group or control group. Radiofrequency ablation is performed using MIFI catheter in the study group, and conventional catheter (Blazer II) in the control group. The study endpoints are recorded immediately after ablation and there is no additional follow up or management after procedure.
