Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term performance of the DF4 Connector System. This evaluation is based on the number of DF4 lead-related complications occurring during the study compared to the number of leads enrolled in the study. The DF4 systems will be followed for 5 years after implant. This study is required by FDA as a condition of approval of the DF4 Connector Systems. This study is conducted within Medtronic's post-market surveillance platform.
The purpose of the THORN registry is to show the ability of Home-Monitoring® to early identify and manage the inappropriate diagnoses of ventricular arrhythmia in ICD patients (i.e. lead rupture, atrial arrhythmia, oversensing…) whatever the type of device (single, dual, or triple chamber). The electromyograms (iEGMs) provided by Remote Patient Monitoring will help the physician to early detect inadequate arrhythmia detection (ID) that can be responsible for inappropriate therapies (IT), and to take preventive actions in order to reduce the burden of these inappropriate therapies. THORN is an observational epidemiologic, prospective and multicenter registry. The primary objective is to measure the relative proportion of patients experiencing at least one inappropriate therapy during a fifteen months follow-up period. Moreover, THORN will assess the incidence, predictors, outcome and recurrence of inappropriate diagnoses in 1750 ICD patients.
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.
This is a multi-center prospective registry of patients with an ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 35% following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in order to test the hypothesis that wearable defibrillators (WD) will decrease overall mortality after discharge by decreasing arrhythmic death in this select population with high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). This is a pilot project to determine the feasibility of a larger-scale study.
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.
The primary objective of the trial is to determine if survival to hospital discharge is improved with early therapeutic administration of a new Captisol-Enabled formulation of IV amiodarone (Nexterone-PM101) compared to placebo.
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.
Monophasic action potential (MAP) recording plays an important role in a more direct view of human myocardial electrophysiology under both physiological and pathological conditions. The MAP method represents a very useful tool for an electrophysiological research in cardiology. Its crucial importance lies in the fact that it enables the study of the action potential (AP) of myocardial cell in vivo and, therefore, the study of the dynamic relation of this potential with all the organism variables what can be particularly helpful in the case of arrhythmias. Hundred and fifty patients will be included to explore mapping capabilities in cardiac chambers in patients suffering from regular or fibrillating tachycardia's with the following inclusion plan: i) Atrial fibrillation at a total of 50 patients ii) Ventricular fibrillation or patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death at a total of 50 patients iii) Junctional tachycardia at a total of 50 patients. We will focus on cardiac activation (depolarization and repolarization) in this population.
Observational study is evaluating Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)/Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) thérapies as a function of ventricular pacing
The purpose of this clinical study is to collect simultaneous, multiple view cardiac signals representing both transvenous ICDs (T-ICD) and sensing vectors from the subcutaneous implantable defibrillator system (S-ICD). Upon completion, this data will represent the first true database capable of comparing detection characteristics of transvenous and subcutaneous ICDs. Future protocols will be created to dictate the specific methods of such comparisons.
