Filter by:The purpose of the Secura clinical study is to evaluate the overall system safety and clinical performance of the Secura DR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
The purpose of the Consulta clinical study is to evaluate the overall system safety and clinical performance of the Consulta Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT-D).
The purpose of this study is to determine if heredity influences the risk of life-threatening heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation) after heart attack (myocardial infarction).
To prospectively evaluate if the analysis of genetic polymorphisms can be used to identify patients at risk of ventricular tachycardia. To evaluate the influence of ICD-based diagnostic information on the long term treatment and management of primary prevention ICD-patients.
This study was undertaken to compare the two techniques (exteriorized vs in situ) of uterine repair with respect to patient comfort, hemodynamic changes, surgical time and blood loss, in patients undergoing elective CD under a strictly standardized spinal anesthetic. We hypothesized that in situ uterine repair would be more comfortable for the patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of calcium channel blockers and adenosine in the treatment of Supraventricular Tachycardia.
The primary objective is to provide additional corroborative safety and efficacy data for the Navistar ThermoCool catheter for the treatment of subjects with ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the ability of clinicians to receive and review information from patients implanted with a heart device over the internet (remote care) is comparable to patients who are seen in-office for routine visits to check the status of their device.
The completed MADIT II study has shown that implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and a prior myocardial infarction reduces death from any cause. The probability of the first therapy due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia was about 34% within 3 years. With a 3-month ICD-follow-up scheme, as it is in the standard ICD therapy, the majority of patients is followed more closely than necessary with respect to anti-tachyarrhythmia ICD therapy. A Home Monitoring (HM) function has been integrated into several ICD models from Biotronik (Berlin , Germany), for close remote monitoring of ICD patients. The HM function may substitute in-clinic follow-up controls. The objective of our study is to compare a standard 3-month follow-up scheme and a 12-month follow-up scheme using HM in ICD recipients with the "MADIT II indications". The comparison should be made with respect to the difference in follow-up burden and the associated costs, and regarding possible impact of the remote follow-up via HM on all cause mortality, hospitalization, and patients' quality of life.
The purpose is to further evaluate the operation, safety, and feasibility of a subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) system in patients who require an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)for treating ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The S-ICD electrode and pulse generator emulator will be briefly implanted and tested during the standard implantation procedure of an ICD, but then the S-ICD system will be removed entirely.
