Filter by:Patients are screened for significant arrhythmias and other possibly significant ECG-patterns directly after discharge and two weeks after myocardial infarction using wearable devices. The home monitoring data will be linked with extensive data from electronic health records collected before, during hospital stay and after discharge. The purpose of the study is to clarify whether home monitoring of continuous ECG-signals can be used to predict and prevent serious adverse events after myocardial infarction.
There is a high correlation between scar areas identified by contrast-enhanced ICE and scar areas identified by conventional electroanatomic mapping. Therefore, the investigators will assess the utility of contrast-enhanced ICE to identify and localize myocardial scar real-time during VT ablation procedures.
The supra ventricular tachycardia is the most common symptomatic arrhythmia in pediatrics. Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug used in this indication. Pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety data are not known in the pediatric population due to the lack of a suitable specialty available on the market. The development of an amiodarone oral solution formulation adapted to this age group should provide a therapeutic alternative and collect data on the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, acceptability and tolerability of the drug.
Despite established implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy and catheter ablation for sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the efficacy of catheter ablation in patients with nonsustained VT has been not yet clarified. The incidence of appropriate ICD therapy itself has been reported to be a worse prognostic factor in patients with reduced LVEF. Therefore theoretically the inhibition of these ventricular incidences can result in the prognostic improvement.To suppress ventricular arrhythmias aside from antiarrhythmic agents, catheter ablation has been developed prominently in this decade along with the technological improvement such as irrigated ablation catheters, three-dimensional mapping systems, multi-polar catheters, and image integration system with CT and MRI. The rationale of this trial is to study the efficacy of the eradication of arrhythmogenic substrate in ischemic cardiomyopathy with reduced LVEF and nonsustained VT on prevention of the occurrence of sustained VT/VF and ICD therapies.
This observation study evaluates the safety and performance of UPT therapy in subjects during either an indicated ventricular tachycardia ablation procedure or an ICD implant procedure.
Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AVC) is a genetic condition which affects the heart and can lead to heart failure and rhythm problems, of which, sudden cardiac arrest or death is the most tragic and dangerous. Diagnosis and screening of blood-relatives is very difficult as the disease process can be subtle, but sufficient enough, so that the first event is sudden death. The Mayo Clinic AVC Registry is a collaboration between Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA and Papworth Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals, Cambridge, UK. The investigators aim to enroll patients with a history of AVC or sudden cardiac death which may be due to AVC, from the US and UK. Family members who are blood-relatives will also be invited, including those who do not have the condition. Data collected include symptoms, ECG, echocardiographic, MRI, Holter, loop recorder, biopsies, exercise stress testing, blood, buccal and saliva samples. Objectives of the study: 1. Discover new genes or altered genes (variants) which cause AVC 2. Identify biomarkers which predict (2a) disease onset, (2b) disease progression, (2c) and the likelihood of arrhythmia (ventricular, supra-ventricular and atrial fibrillation) 3. Correlate genotype with phenotype in confirmed cases of AVC followed longitudinally using clinical, electrocardiographic and imaging data. 4. Characterize desmosomal changes in buccal mucosal cells with genotype and validate with gold-standard endomyocardial biopsies
This study is aimed to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a zero-fluoroscopic approach using Ensite NavX with conventional fluoroscopic approach using Ensite NavX plus fluoroscopy for the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
This study is intended to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a zero-fluoroscopy approach using Ensite NavX as the only imaging modality with conventional fluoroscopic approach for the catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias; conventional fluoroscopic approach use fluoroscopy plus Ensite NavX or plus Carto as the imaging modality.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the SERF Catheter and SERF Cardiac Ablation System to eliminate or control ventricular tachycardia (VT)
The "Registry of Malignant Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death - Influence of Diagnostics and Interventions (RACE-IT)" represents a mono-centric registry of patients being hospitalized suffering from malignant arrythmias (ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Detailed findings of patients' clinical outcome regarding mortality and co-morbidities related to the presence of invasive diagnostics or therapies including coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), electrophysiological testing (EP), catheter ablation and implanted cardiac devices (e.g. implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) will be documented. Patients will be included when being hospitalized from the year 2004 until today.
