Filter by:Most patients with acute COVID-19 (Coronavirus 19) recover within weeks, however a significant number of individuals will develop the post-acute COVID 19 syndrome (PASC). As of July 2021, the post COVID syndrome qualifies as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The symptoms which comprise this condition are highly variable and often extraordinarily debilitating. They may be distinct from the initial presentation or may mimic those which defined the initial infection. The post COVID syndrome can be diagnosed when symptoms persist longer than 3 months and may extend to beyond one year. There are risks for permanent levels of disability. Patients who seemingly did not have active COVID-19 symptoms in the days following infectious exposure may also develop post Covid syndromes. These syndromes are considered to constitute a distinct clinical entity which has of yet no clearly defined pathogenic mechanism or validated treatment algorithms. International investigative efforts are now underway to determine who might develop the post COVID syndrome, it's long term consequences and how best to treat its many problematic symptoms.
ACE-VT is a clinical pilot study designed to evaluate the ability of the CardioSolv Software System to generate an output for the physician to review in a timely fashion, consistent with the standard of care VT ablation workflow. This study will assess the acute effectiveness of using the CardioSolv Software System output as additional supporting information during ablation.
The investigators aim to study if patients that undergo catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia benefit from continuation of Vaughan-Williams class III antiarrhythmic drugs for 3 months after their ablation.
This is a Phase II, single center (Under the Center for Resuscitation Medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School), partially blinded, prospective, intention to treat, safety and efficacy clinical trial, randomizing adult patients (18-75 years old) with refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who are transferred by emergency medical services (EMS) with ongoing mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or who are resuscitated to receive one of the 2 local standards of care practiced in our community: 1) Early Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Facilitated Resuscitation or 2) Standard Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Resuscitation
This study is intended to develop a better method for stopping potentially lethal heart rhythms than currently available defibrillators. This new method, called Unpinning Termination Therapy (UPT), is hypothesized to be effective in stopping these dangerous heart rhythms at lower voltages and energy than current defibrillators. Consequently, UPT may improve survival, reduce patient pain from shocks, and lead to longer lasting and smaller implantable defibrillators.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of etripamil nasal spray (NS) 70 mg when self-administered by patients with an episode of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia in an outpatient setting (i.e., without medical supervision).
The goal of this study is to determine the optimal treatment for patients who receive a single shock from their implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). All participants in this study will be fitted with a special electrode vest to detect the origin of heart rhythm abnormalities and then they will undergo a procedure called Non-Invasive Programmed Stimulation (NIPS). This procedure involves sedating a participants with anesthesia and then using the participant's own ICD to try to stimulate the heart to go into ventricular tachycardia. If this procedure is unable to induce the participant into ventricular tachycardia, then the participant will just be managed with usual care and will not be placed on any additional medications and will not undergo an ablation. However, if the NIPS induces the ventricular tachycardia, the electrode vest will be used to determine the origin of the abnormal heart rhythm inside the heart. After a successful NIPS procedure, the participants will be randomly assigned to either be placed on medication therapy or undergo catheter ablation. The outcomes from all three groups will be compared and the researchers hope to better understand which participants are most likely to benefit from watchful waiting versus medication versus catheter ablation.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine and compare this to a current technique commonly used at TGH for sedation in patients undergoing ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter. The investigators hypothesise that dexmedetomidine will be at least equivalent to, or more so, in terms of effectiveness and safety, when compared to midazolam and remifentanil for sedation during ablation procedures.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a sporadic, sudden, and recurring tachycardia that is caused by an altered electrical conductivity in the heart. It causes palpitations and a rapid heart rate, which may induce fear in the patient and negatively impact the patient's quality of life. Therefore, most patients experience not only physical symptoms of PSVT, but also dramatic psychological burdens. As PSVT drug development efforts advance, it has become increasingly important to document the impact of PSVT in a systematic way, in terms of the disease natural history and clinical characteristics of PSVT episodes, as well as the psychological impact of the condition as reported by patients over time. In order to meet the needs for ongoing, systematic data collection on PSVT, a multinational registry, The PSVT Place Registry (www.PSVTPlaceRegistry.com), is being implemented and will be initially comprised of data entered directly by patients. The long-term registry is designed with a participant-focused approach to enable continuity of data collection and minimization of impact from changes of participants' health care providers. The registry may be expanded at a later time to include physician-reported data. The information from the registry is planned to be a resource for participants with PSVT, their families and support networks, their doctors, and the research community to better understand PSVT-related symptoms and awareness, PSVT diagnoses, patient self-management, medical treatments for PSVT, and impact of PSVT on quality of life from the patient perspective.
This study is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center study to assess clinical performance of the SHERLOCK 3CG™ Diamond Tip Confirmation System (TCS) with MODUS II software for confirming correct tip position of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in adult subjects with altered cardiac rhythm.
