Filter by:Medtronic is sponsoring Enlighten: The EV-ICD Post Approval Registry, to further confirm safety and effectiveness of EV-ICD in routine clinical practice, following commercial release of EV-ICD devices.
The purpose of the China CIED 3.0T MRI Performance Study is to confirm safety of SureScan CIED in the clinical 3.0T MRI environment when subjects receive MRI scans. ll subjects will have required follow-up visits at baseline, MRI visit, 1-month post-MRI. The MRI scans will occur at the MRI visit. The MRI scan region will be determined by investigator according to the subject's clinical condition.
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is a life threatening heart rhythm that comes from the bottom chambers of the heart (the ventricles) and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. The majority of patients that are at risk of VT or suffer a cardiac arrest will have an Internal Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) in situ to treat the abnormal heart rhythm. The ICD can deliver a painful shock to restore normal heart rhythm but importantly does not treat the underlying cause. Current treatment for the prevention of recurrent VT include catheter ablation (CA) or medication. Long-term results with global 12 month VT-free survival rates with CA are around 50%. The trial is to compare 2 different types of ablation catheter that are used to cauterise small areas of unhealthy tissue within the heart that are responsible for VT: Diamond Temp (DT) and Tacticath/Tactiflex (TF). Our hypothesis is that the DT ablation catheter will provide comparable efficacy and safety for the treatment of VT as the current industry gold standard (TF).
Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is part of the body's autonomic nervous system(PNS) protects body against inflammation. Study shows that reduced PNS function activity is associated with persistent inflammation. Preliminary data from the studies shows, that post-COVID-19 POTS patients have reduced parasympathetic (PNS) function. Given that the PNS protects against inflammation, this clinical trial aims to prove that post-COVID-19 POTS is caused by reduced PNS activity, which in turn, contributes to persistent inflammation, orthostatic intolerance, and OI symptoms. The study will evaluate immune cell activation in post-COVID-19 POTS and patients with history of COVID-19 infection without sequelae and correlate this with the degree of decreased PNS activity.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, sponsor unblinded, placebo-controlled, single-dose clinical study of CRD-4730 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CRD-4730 when administered as single oral doses to participants with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT). The study will have 2 cohorts in which participants with CPVT will participate in a 3-period, randomized 2-sequence study. Each participant will receive 2 different doses of CRD-4730 and 1 dose of matching placebo, with each study drug administered as a single dose.
Objective: To explore in our center the feasibility and safety of a SBRT treatment method for VT. Study population: Patients with ventricular tachycardia that are refractory to dose-escalated antiarrhythmic drugs and where catheter ablation has either already been performed or is deemed to be unsuccessful or associated with high risks. Intervention: Patients will be treated with a stereotactic body radiotherapy technique as a single fraction treatment up to a dose of 25 Gy delivered to the VT substrate defined by electrophysiological mapping. Main study endpoints: The primary aim is to explore the feasibility and safety of a SBRT treatment method for refractory VT. Secondary endpoints include an assessment of the efficacy of the treatment, quality of life, late toxicity and overall survival. Patients will have to fill in a quality-of-life questionnaire before and after the radiotherapy treatment. The risk associated with this trial is an increase in toxicity.
Management of cardiac arrest according to published guidelines has remained largely unchanged for a decade. Thames Valley Air Ambulance provide Critical Care Paramedic and Physician teams who respond to cardiac arrests and offer treatments beyond the scope of ambulance service clinicians. Following a review of practice and appraisal of evidence the investigators developed an additional algorithm for cases of adult medical cardiac arrest with refractory shockable rhythms. This adds to but does not replace the Advanced Life Support algorithm and includes: - Delivering shocks with the LUCAS mechanical CPR device running - After 5 shocks have been delivered placing new pads in the Anterior Posterior (AP) position - Delivering shocks using the TVAA Tempus Pro defibrillator rather than the Ambulance Service defibrillator. This bundle was based on recommendations from ILCOR and the Resus Council (UK) Advanced Life Support manual and was launched in October 2021.
Many patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) have decreased plasma volume. Current POTS guidelines recommend ~10 g of salt and 2-3 L of fluid per day. Despite this recommendation, there is no long term data evaluating the use of salt in POTS. This randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over trial will evaluate a high salt diet, compared to a normal salt diet over a period of 3 months. Participants will complete 3 in lab evaluations including autonomic function testing, tilt table testing, blood volume and urine sodium evaluation, plasma catecholamine measurements and and cytokine measurements.
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the most common chronic cause of postural lightheadedness, and upright confusion afflicting many Americans, mostly young women. Many POTS patients hyperventilate by increasing their depth of breathing that produces tachycardia, alters blood flow and blood pooling in the body and importantly reduces brain blood flow causing "brain fog". In this proposal the investigators will demonstrate in young women that abnormal repeated brief impairment of blood pressure and brain flow just after standing sensitizes the body's oxygen sensor in POTS to respond as if it were in a low oxygen environment causing hyperventilation and its consequences. In this project the investigators will use various drugs that will help to understand the mechanisms that cause POTS in this unique subset of POTS patients who hyperventilate.
Prospective single-arm study investigating the efficacy and safety of non-invasive cardiac radiosurgery for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) with reduced dose of radiation (20 Gy). The efficacy and safety outcome measures will be compared with historical control - patients treated within the SMART-VT study (NCT04642963) with a single dose of 25 Gy to test the hypothesis that reduced dose of radiation is similarly effective in terms of reduction of VT burden.
