NCT ID: NCT01547117 Completed - Clinical trials for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Dietary Salt in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome

Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients with POTS may not adequately expand their plasma volume in response to a high-sodium (Na+) diet. Mechanisms involved in the regulation of plasma volume, such as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and renal dopamine, may be impaired in POTS and may respond inappropriately to changes in dietary sodium.The purpose of this study is to determine (1) whether a high dietary sodium level appropriately expands plasma volume in POTS; (2) whether plasma renin activity and aldosterone are modified appropriately by changes in dietary sodium in POTS; and (3) whether patients with POTS have improvements in their orthostatic tachycardia and symptoms as a result of a high dietary sodium level.

NCT ID: NCT01492764 Completed - Clinical trials for Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias

Ablation of Ventricular Fibrillation by Accurate Targeting of Arrhythmogenic Regions (AVATAR)

AVATAR
Start date: June 2011
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study will test the hypothesis that many human heart rhythm disorders are caused by small localized sources, where brief ablation may successfully eliminate the heart rhythm disorder.

NCT ID: NCT01446965 Completed - Clinical trials for Myocardial Infarction

Vest Prevention of Early Sudden Death Trial and VEST Registry

VEST
Start date: July 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study explores the hypothesis that wearable defibrillators can impact mortality by reducing sudden death during the first three months after a heart attack in persons with high risk for life-threatening arrhythmias.

NCT ID: NCT01426425 Completed - Heart Disease Clinical Trials

Intracardiac CrYoablation for AtrioVentricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia

Start date: May 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

ICY-AVNRT (Intracardiac CrYoablation for AtrioVentricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia) is a prospective multi-center, nonrandomized, single arm, controlled, unblinded, investigational clinical study. The purpose of this clinical study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Freezor® Xtra Cardiac CryoAblation Catheter for the cryoablation of the conducting tissues of the heart in the treatment of patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) using an endocardial approach.

NCT ID: NCT01410552 Completed - Tachycardia Clinical Trials

Inappropriate Shock Reduction wIth PARAD+ Rhythm DiScrimination

ISIS-ICD
Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

ISIS- ICD study has been designed to evaluate the impact of PARAD+ algorithm on inappropriate shocks, in a general population implanted for primary or secondary prevention with a dual or tri chamber device at one year follow-up

NCT ID: NCT01382953 Completed - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

The Simple ECG Monitoring Trial (Comparison of a Novel Recording System With a Standard Holter Monitor)

Start date: August 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this research is to simplify the standard recording system of the heart rhythm. The investigators desire to improve the ease of monitoring the cardiac rhythm for 24 hours. The investigators intent is to use a very small, innovative monitoring patch system that relieves the patient of wearing a cumbersome and uncomfortable recording system. This research trial will carry the title "The Simple ECG Monitoring" for Comparison of a Sternal ECG Recording System with a Standard ECG Recording System for Holter Monitoring. The data from the investigational device is for comparative purposes only. It will not be used by medical personnel for study subject treatment or diagnostic purposes.

NCT ID: NCT01377051 Completed - COPD Clinical Trials

Effect of Indacaterol Maleate in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) on Lung Volume and Related Dyspnea

Start date: May 2011
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether indacaterol maleate 300 micrograms (mcg) is effective in the acute treatment of COPD and in particular on reducing lung hyperinflation and dynamic volumes.

NCT ID: NCT01367977 Completed - Clinical trials for Venous Insufficiency

Head Circumference Growth in Children With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Who Develop Dysautonomia Later in Life

Start date: May 2011
Phase:
Study type: Observational

It is known that 33-50% of Classic and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome patients eventually develop dysautonomia, otherwise known as "POTS" (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Some of these patients develop dysautonomia as a result of a retroflexed odontoid, Chiari 1 Malformation or cranial settling and the resulting basilar impression. Many Ehlers-Danlos patients suffer with the same symptomology with no evidence of a cause according to MRI imaging. It is the author's hypothesis that low-level External Communicating Hydrocephalus appears to be responsible for the constellation of autonomic and cranial nerve symptoms, and if present in the very young, an analysis of head circumference growth in the first 15 months of life should reflect abnormally rapid head growth, supporting this hypothesis.

NCT ID: NCT01366963 Completed - Clinical trials for Postural Tachycardia Syndrome

Cognitive Dysfunction in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome

Start date: March 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

A common complaint among people with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is "brain fog" or difficulty concentrating. This is very poorly understood. To better understand this cognitive dysfunction, the investigators will test people with POTS and people without POTS using various neuropsychiatric instruments. The investigators hypothesis is that people with POTS will have greater abnormalities on neuropsychiatric testing than normal controls.

NCT ID: NCT01326624 Completed - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Study of the Wearable Defibrillator in Heart-Failure Patients

SWIFT
Start date: March 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of wearable defibrillator use in patients with left ventricular dysfunction or advanced heart failure symptoms, who have a high-risk for sudden cardiac death but are either not eligible for an implantable defibrillator under current guidelines or are not able to receive the device due to their condition.
