Active clinical trials for "Ventricular Premature Complexes"

The aim of the study is to develop and validate a novel esophageal mapping system to improve the diagnostics of cardiac arrhythmias. Using a newly designed esophageal ECG catheter, esophageal ECGs (eECGs) will be recorded in 40 patients during an electrophysiological (EP) study and/or ablation procedure and in 12 healthy volunteers. In parallel acquired intracardiac electrograms will serve as reference for the developed mapping systems accuracy. Additionally, the esophageal mapping system will be compared to that of the standard 12-lead surface ECG in regard to its diagnostic performance.

This is a single centre study enrolling 15 subjects with structurally normal hearts that are already indicated for a ventricular ablation procedure (VT or PVCs). The purpose is to compare the accuracy of VIVO and to assess its efficacy to decrease procedural time, and ideally, the procedural overall costs, as compared to standard of care ablation procedures. Results will be compared with data from

This study is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center study to assess clinical performance of the SHERLOCK 3CG™ Diamond Tip Confirmation System (TCS) with MODUS II software for confirming correct tip position of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in adult subjects with altered cardiac rhythm.

The study will be a prospective cohort study of 20 patients recruited from site's Defibrillator Clinic patient population who are followed at the site. Hypothesis: Among the available EGM configuration options, one is better than the others for detection enhancements purposes.

Magnesium is a mineral which is essential to many of the processes which happen in the body. This includes normal function of muscles; including the heart. Studies have shown that oral magnesium supplementation can help reduce the frequency of extra heart beats (premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and premature atrial contractions (PAC)) while also reducing the severity of their associated symptoms. Oral magnesium supplementation has yet to be investigated in athletes with lots of PVCs and/or PACs. Most of the magnesium in your body is stored in the bones. Your body may take magnesium from your bones to maintain magnesium levels in your blood. This makes it possible for people to have low levels of magnesium in their body but normal levels in their blood. Over time, this process can decrease the total amount in your body and impact other body functions. Magnesium is also lost in sweat making athletes more vulnerable to having low levels in their body. Magnesium is particularly important in the function of the myocardium (heart muscle fibers). It has been proposed that the PVCs and PACs experienced by some people are a result of low levels of total body magnesium. Current drug treatments to control PVCs and PACs include medications such as beta blockers. These treatments are not without their side effects. Generally, these medications are only effective if individuals do not have a structural heart disease. These drugs may also decrease your ability to exercise and are banned by some governing bodies in sport. The hypotheses of this study are: Oral magnesium supplementation reduces the frequency of PVCs and/or PACs. Oral magnesium supplementation reduces the symptoms associated with PVCs and PACs. To be eligible for the study, individuals will be required to have a certain number of PVCs and PACs in a day. This study will involve two groups of participants. A total of 25 participants will be recruited for each group resulting in 50 participants in the study. During the study, one group will take a daily magnesium capsule for 12 weeks before switching to a placebo for 12 weeks. The other group will have the placebo intervention before switching to magnesium. Participants will be randomized into one of the two groups and will remain blinded until their participation in the study ends. The research team will also be unaware of each participant's current intervention however, this information will be available in case of medical emergency. Participants will be asked to attend one screening visit and three study visits. During these visits, a blood sample will be taken and you will be asked to complete questionnaires about you physical fitness and quality of life. You will also be asked to wear a Holter monitor for 48 hours in order to count the number of PVCs and PACs you have daily. In addition to these assessments, you will also complete an exercise stress test during your screening visit.

Researchers are trying to determine if the use of software called VIVO, made by Catheter Precision, Inc. can shorten the length of time it takes to perform an ablation procedure for either premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia (VT).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the occurrence of idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT) arrhythmia is relative to sex hormone levels in different stages of female menstrual cycle

This study will measure the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Medtronic CardioInsight wearable 252 electrode vest in predicting the chamber of origin of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and compare its diagnostic accuracy with the standard 12- lead ECG.

The SWAF study will compare the performance of a smartwatch combined with Cardiologs Platform algorithm in the detection of Atrial Fibrillation and other arrhythmias with that measured on a manually read 12-lead ECG in subjects hospitalized for cardioversion or AF ablation.

With this project the investigators aim to investigate whether premature ventricular complexes (PVC) have a prognostic significance in persons without structural heart disease. Further the investigators look at the possible connection between PVC-morphology and clinical outcome and investigate whether advanced cardiac imaging-methods may identify subtle signs of heart disease in PVC-patients with normal findings at echocardiography.
