Filter by:In many aspects of every-day life, modern communication systems bring about a remarkable increase in comfort and safety by transmitting data and information in an easy and reliable manner. In order to provide these advantages also to patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, as well as to their physicians, BIOTRONIK has developed a long-distance implant telemetry to enable periodic trend and event-triggered transmissions of implant data and intracardiac electrogram over distances of several meters. The data is received by a patient device and subsequently automatically transferred to a BIOTRONIK Service Center that provides it to the physician on a password secured internet site. Hence, the physician receives diagnostic information without the patient having to visit the physician (Home Monitoring, HM). New possibilities will arise for a detailed medical and event-correlated supervision of the patient's therapy using electrically active implants.
The purpose of the study is two-fold. In Phase I (Protecta Clinical Study), system performance will be evaluated. In Phase II (PainFree SST), the inappropriate shock-free rate at one year of subjects implanted with a Medtronic Protecta implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the additional use of non-fluoroscopic imaging modalities can decrease the use of radiation exposure during standard ablation procedures for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children.
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone in the pathophysiology of postural tachycardia syndrome, and to provide an insight about the disease process in this disorder.
The investigators will test whether breathing through an inspiratory resistance device will improve the ability to be upright and decrease heart rate increases on standing in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the chronic performance of the St. Jude Medical SJ4 connector and RV high voltage SJ4 leads.
To demonstrate that ablation with the Therapy Cool Path Duo cardiac ablation system can eliminate ischemic VT and that its use does not result in an unacceptable risk of serious adverse events.
The main objective of this study is to compare the time from randomization to the first recurrence of any ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients undergoing VT ablation (for stable VTs) and substrate ablation (for unstable VTs) after an initial episode of stable VT and patients not undergoing ablation, with both groups under the protection of an ICD.
This study will compare aggressive antiarrhythmic therapy to catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia in patients who have suffered prior myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal management of patients presenting with recurrent VT and receiving ICD therapy in spite of first-line antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The hypothesis is catheter ablation is superior to aggressive antiarrhythmic drug therapy for recurrent VT.
The MAGMA-AVNRT study compares two different methods of handling the ablation catheters for av-node-reentry-tachycardia with regard to x-ray dose, safety and success: manually guided vs magnetically navigated RF-catheter.
