Filter by:The overall goal of this project is to design, develop, and pilot test an emergency healthcare drone delivery system suitable for rural communities that can deliver AEDs to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) locations more rapidly than can be achieved with current first responder and EMS systems. The goal is to determine whether this method of AED delivery can be achieved rapidly enough to justify a future clinical trial directly testing its ability to improve OHCA survival.
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the "CCM-D System") can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are not indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and have heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%). Eligible subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System. A subset of subjects will be induced into ventricular fibrillation "on the table" in the implant procedure room. During the follow-up period, inappropriate shock rate and device-related complications will be evaluated. The follow-up period is expected to last at least two years.
There is some limited evidence that reduced size of electrical complexes/traces of the heart on the electrocardiogram (ECG) may be associated with scarring in the heart muscle, which may predispose to serious life-threatening electrical abnormalities and sudden cardiac death (SCD). There is no current guidance on how young individuals and athletes with reduced ECG traces should be managed. Therefore, correct interpretation of this ECG finding is crucial for identifying athletes with disease and at risk of SCD. Some athletes experience SCD despite normal standard cardiac tests. The investigators, therefore, propose to study young healthy individuals and young athletes using cardiovascular MRI, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, 24 hour ECG monitoring and genetic analysis to determine the significance of reduced ECG traces and possibly revise current international sports recommendations.
The purpose of this research study is to collect clinical data to validate a software update for 12-lead electrocardiogram monitoring.
A multicenter, prospective and retrospective, observational, post market study.
Single arm open label evaluation of the Jewel Patch Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (P-WCD) defibrillation waveform in adult cardiac patients.
The Jewel IDE Study: A Clinical Evaluation of the Jewel P-WCD in Subjects at High Risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest. ("JEWEL")
Active surveillance study using real-world data collected in the ASSURE Patient Registry. Outcome measures are based on analysis of ASSURE Registry data including data recorded by the WCD then annotated by clinical experts in electrophysiology.
A Prospective study on the performance and safety of the HeartStart OnSite (Model M5066A) & HeartStart Home (Model M5068A) Defibrillator device data.
This study aims to evaluate the electrophysiological properties of the heart conduction system in patients with (increased risk of) ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) and sudden cardiac arrest, and in a control cohort. The electrophysiological properties will be measured with the relatively new technique ECG-Imaging (ECGI). Moreover, clinical data of subjects will be gathered. By combining the data from the data gathering and the results of ECGI, the investigators hope to increase mechanistic understanding of and risk stratification for VTAs. The investigators aim to be able to identify patients at risk of an arrhythmic event, and aim for better treatment strategies in the future.
