Filter by:The Registry will evaluate how HRV Monitor diagnostics change after cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure.
Primary objective: - to assess the efficacy of SSR149744C for the prevention of ventricular arrhythmia-triggered ICD interventions. Secondary objectives: - to assess versus placebo the tolerability of the different dose regimens of SSR149744C in the selected population. - to document SSR149744C plasma level during the study.
People with epilepsy are at a higher risk for sudden unexpected death than the general population. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of death in this population, accounting for 10-50% of deaths for those with epilepsy. The risk for SUDEP is particularly high for those with refractory epilepsy. Several lines of evidence support a cardiac mechanism for SUDEP. This study plans to determine: 1. the frequency and types of cardiac arrhythmias that occur in this population and 2. whether these are increased above the general population in the same age group. Additionally, these data will be correlated to specific clinical data, including seizure history, anticonvulsant medications, and any accompanying clinical symptoms.
Both segmental, ostial and circumferential, extra-ostial pulmonary vein (PV) isolation have been proven effective in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. In this study patients with symptomatic paroxystic or persistent AF were randomised to one of the above mentioned ablation methods. The primary endpoints were recurrent AF and recurrence of left atrium-PV conduction.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients implanted with a St. Jude Medical (SJM) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) will benefit by using AutoIntrinsic Conduction Search (AICS) rather than only a programmed AV/PV delay. This study will compare the two methods of programming with respect to intrinsic activity.
The REFLEx Study will evaluate if ENDOTAK RELIANCE G defibrillation leads with GORE ePTFE-covered coils are as good as or better than other comparative commercially available defibrillation leads with respect to electrical performance and termination efficacy in spontaneous tachyarrhythmic episodes.
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the interrelationships between health status and measures of cardiac performance in children 6 to 18 years of age with congenital heart disease who have undergone a Fontan procedure as surgical treatment for functional single ventricle. The goal was to develop a data set that will permit identification of a clinically relevant endpoint for subsequent trials of medical management of the Fontan patient.
The purpose of this study is to determine if opening blocked arteries with heart balloons and stents prevents heart rhythm problems in individuals 3 to 28 days after a heart attack.
This trial compares the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation for PAF with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The investigational catheter being studied is the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® irrigated-tip catheter. At the time of this study, the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® catheter was FDA-approved for commercial distribution in the U.S. for treating patients with Type I atrial flutter and drug refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia post myocardial infarction. The catheter was approved for use in Europe for endocardial ablation for treating cardiac arrhythmias.
The objective of the SOFA trial is to investigate whether supplemental intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) from fish oil can reduce the recurrence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
