Filter by:The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of varying doses of intravenous magnesium in the treatment of AFF RVR.
The goal of this clinical trial is to make clear that a new method, right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) posterior septum pacing, has a greater accuracy in predicting the origin of ventricular outflow tract (VOT) ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) compared to the previous electrocardiographic standards for the identification of the origin of ventricular outflow tract. The secondary aim is to investigate, by using the new method, if it can optimize the procedure of radiofrequency catheter ablation. Researches will break the method of this investigation into two steps: First step have enrolled 100 patients. This step would be used to compare the results predicted by right ventricular outflow tract posterior septum pacing, with the previously used electrocardiographic criteria and actual target site. The second step will enroll another 100 patients. In this step, patients will be divided into two groups, one being the new protocol group and the other being the convention group. Patients will also be followed up, for 1 month and 3 months at outpatient clinic post procedure. Procedure time, success rate, fluoroscopy exposure time and complications, are compared between RVOT posterior septum pacing group and convention group.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing permanent cardiac pacing and to compare procedural efficacy and safety of different implantation approaches in the clinical practice of the participating centres. The contribution of non-fluoroscopic anatomical and electrophysiological reconstruction systems to device implantation procedures will also be evaluated. Participants [patients over 18 years old with an indication to receive a definitive pacemaker/intracardiac defibrillator implant] will receive a permanent cardiac pacing implant as requested according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines; the investigators will evaluate procedural efficacy and safety of different implantation approaches.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) affects approximately 500,000 - 3 million Americans. This number will only increase due to the large number of patients experiencing POTS due to "long COVID." POTS patients experience several symptoms, including tachycardia, palpitations, dizziness, and pre-syncope or syncope, among others. POTS can be very debilitating and not only affect patients physically but also emotionally and financially. It takes an average of four years and seven doctors for POTS patients to achieve a diagnosis and it is often a frustrating and negative experience fraught with misdiagnoses, stigma, and depression and anxiety. Recent research demonstrates that mHealth technology may be one way that POTS patients can improve their experience in the healthcare system by providing objective data to their healthcare providers. Patients may also better take care of themselves through symptom monitoring and instant patient education via mHealth technology. The two study aims are: 1) Developing a mHealth app to improve the delay to diagnosis and the quality of life of POTS patients; and 2) Evaluate the usability and feasibility of the mHealth app and study design. To achieve these aims, researchers in this study will work with a programmer and leaders from the mHealth Application Modernization and Mobilization Alliance (MAMMA) and stakeholders (patients, caregivers, and providers) to co-design a mHealth app for POTS patients, including key educational components guided by the IDEA model, an instructional risk communication approach. A group of diagnosis-seeking POTS (n=20) patients will pilot test the app and provide feedback for improvement as well as evaluate its usability. Results from this study will allow researchers to acquire necessary data to apply for external funding to conduct a larger clinical trial to evaluate its influence on health outcomes, such as patient experience during visits with physicians, perceived stigma, and time to diagnosis.
This is a multicenter, interventional study. The study will enroll patients that fulfill the inclusion criteria over a 33-month period. Considering the small number of patients who will meet the study criteria, it is also possible to include retrospective patients who already underwent STAR (for instance, as part of a compassionate program) if they meet all the inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as the treatment planning standardized requirements and sign their consent to this trial. All patients prospectively enrolled will undergo a flow of investigations following a standardized approach. ICD programming will be standardized.
This is an observational study to deeply phenotype the disorder of POTS using multiple testing modalities.
The objective of this study is to determine if there is a meaningful benefit to using the sedative medication dexmedetomidine in the acute treatment of patients with recurrent ventricular arrhythmias, known as electrical storm. This will be a multi-centre, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized trial. Patients with electrical storm will be randomized to receive 48 to 72 hours of dexmedetomidine or placebo as part of their initial treatment in an intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study is to determine if nVNS will decrease autonomic symptom intensity (COMPASS-31 and Child Functional Disability Inventory) in adolescent patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in comparison to standard recovery STEPS management.
Study objectives: - To assess the impact of mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation on ventricular arrhythmic burden and surrogate markers of fibrosis in patients with arrhytmogenic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) from baseline to 6 months after surgery - To characterize the molecular landscape of arrhytmogenic MVP Study design: -Prospective explorative observational study Study population: -90 patients with arrhytmogenic MVP and without arrhytmogenic MVP (controls) eligible for mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation will be enrolled. All patients will be evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and continuous seven day arrhythmic monitoring before and at 6 months after mitral valve surgery
