Active clinical trials for "Tachycardia, Ventricular"

This pilot study is to prospectively evaluate the benefit of clinicians being able to access ICD device information in a timelier manner and treat fluid overload with a pre-defined pattern using the Medtronic OptiVol, Medtronic CareAlerts and Medtronic CareLink in Conexus-enabled devices (remote arm) as compared to the same devices without Medtronic OptiVol, Medtronic CareAlerts and Medtronic CareLink available to the treating physician (standard arm).

This prospective, randomized, single blind, multi-centre study will examine the effect of the right ventricular (RV) lead location in patients implanted with a cardiac resynchronization defibrillator. Purpose : To compare the effect of RV mid-septal (RVS) versus RV apical (RVA) lead location on left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT-D) over a period of 6 months and to evaluate the clinical outcome of the RVS versus RVA pacing, over a period of 12 months. Objectives: The primary objective is to demonstrate that there is no difference between the two groups (RVA vs. RVS) in the change of left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), between baseline and 6 months. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the percentage of "echo-responders" plus additional clinical and safety outcomes. This prospective, randomized, multi-centre, single-blind with 2 parallel arms, non-inferiority study will be conducted in approximately 25 study centres in Europe. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. A maximum of 416 patients will be enrolled in this study. All eligible patients will be followed through baseline, randomisation, pre discharge, 1, 6 and 12 months post-implant. Enrolment is expected to be completed in 18 months. The total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 30 months.

The study evaluates 3 different populations: It is an open, randomized, parallel-group study comparing the effectiveness of intravenous (iv) ajmaline with currently used antiarrhythmic drugs in the acute treatment of : recent-onset atrial fibrillation versus iv flecainide sustained monomorphous ventricular tachycardia versus iv procainamide The study also evaluates in an open, randomized, crossover study, the use of iv ajmaline versus iv flecainide in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome

To compare the efficacy of RV and BiV ATP for the termination of ventricular arrhythmias in patients who are candidates to a cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) and have a Class I or IIA indication for ICD implantation. The hypothesis of delivering ATP from different sites (RV or BIV) has never been evaluated in a prospective, controlled and randomized study.

To determine the value of electrophysiologic (EP)-guided antiarrhythmic therapy in coronary heart disease patients at increased risk for sudden death. The study included a controlled clinical trial and a registry.

The purpose of this study was to explore the safety and efficacy of a Pulsed Field Ablation Device and Force Sensing Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter in the treatment of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia.

Prospective single-arm study investigating the safety of non-invasive cardiac radiosurgery for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT).

NODE-303 is a multi-center, open label (OL) study to evaluate the safety of etripamil NS in patients with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT). Patients will be provided with an ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring System (CMS) to help document PSVT episodes. The CMS will be self-applied by the patient, when they feel the onset of PSVT symptoms. Patients will self-administer etripamil NS if vagal maneuver is ineffective. After an episode of PSVT where drug is administered, the patient will return to the investigative site and have the option to continue in NODE-303 and manage subsequent episodes of PSVT with etripamil NS.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of aerobic interval training in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) on physical fitness, quality of life and the amount of serious ventricular arrhythmic events on short and long term.

Despite significant advances in the management of ventricular arrhythmias through the use of ICD therapy, AADs, and catheter-based ablation strategies, considerable challenges remain. The optimal method for the prevention of recurrent VT following catheter ablation remains unclear. RSDN may be an effective tool for preventing ventricular arrhythmias, and associated ICD therapies, by reducing central sympathetic tone, catecholamine levels, and the renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system and promoting ventricular remodeling. Although RSDN has been shown to reduce the recurrence of VT in a case report of 2 patients suffering from electrical storm, to date no large prospective randomized study has evaluated the impact of RSDN in the prevention of recurrent VT in patients following catheter ablation of VT with ischemic or non-ischemic ventricular dysfunction. This study will specifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of adjunctive RSDN in the prevention of ICD therapy in patients with ischemic or non-ischemic ventricular dysfunction who are to receive a catheter-based VT ablation.
