Filter by:The new BIOTRONIK implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) family Lumax 540 is capable of measuring the intrathoracic impedance on a daily basis and transmission of impedance trend data via the Home Monitoring technology. In future, this will allow for automatic early detection of imminent decompensation at a presymptomatic stage and immediate initialization of clinical meaningful therapeutic interventions preventing heart failure related hospitalizations. The aim of this investigation is to record long-term impedance trends in heart failure patients with and without heart failure related events (hospitalizations due to acute decompensation) in order to develop algorithms for device-based early detection and warning of HF deterioration accompanied by pulmonary congestion.
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 : 1. recent-onset atrial fibrillation versus iv flecainide 2. 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
The purpose of this study is to quantify the accuracy of the atrial fibrillation diagnostics of the Reveal® XT in a clinical setting and to verify overall system performance, R-wave sensing performance, to obtain user feedback, from both patient and physician, and collect data on device safety.
To describe the clinical indications for Reveal XT in diagnosis and continuous monitoring of arrhythmia and to explore the clinical applications and outcome of arrhythmia monitoring on patient care.
The registry will obtain information to determine the safety of sports participation for patients with defibrillators (ICDs).
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small device that is implanted in the chest and uses electrical shocks to control arrhythmias, which are abnormal heart rhythms. Arrhythmias can be caused by many factors, including stress and anger. This study will evaluate the use of a stress reduction treatment (SRT) program aimed at reducing the occurrence of arrhythmias that require treatment with an ICD shock.
A severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction is associated with increased mortality due to pump failure as well as to malignant ventricular arrhythmia. We hypothesize that targeted training may lead to improved survival and to increased parameters of risk stratification for malignant arrhythmia. Additionally, the training may lead to an improved psychological and mental condition of the patients
To assess in patients with CAD [coronary artery disease] and an implantable defibrillator the effect of atorvastatin 80 mg versus placebo on the first recurrence of a ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation requiring ICD [implantable cardioverter defibrillator] intervention) within one year after randomization.
Feasibility study to evaluate CARTO™ XP EP Navigation System V9 and SOUNDSTAR 3D Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter.
This protocol focuses on the evaluation of the GE noninvasive blood pressure parameter in subjects with dysrhythmias and normal sinus rhythm. The study follows the recommendations of the ANSI/AAMI SP10 Standard.
