Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of virtual reality (VR) technology as adjunct to routine anesthesia care for patients undergoing electrophysiology (EP) procedures.
Summary: This randomized control trial is designed to explore the effect of low-level tragus stimulation in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions.
Summary: Frequent premature ventricular beats (PVBs) are common, negatively affects the quality of life for many patients, and can lead to impaired contractile function. Rule-out of structural heart disease is key in the assessment of PVBs. Cardiac MR has a high sensitivity for structural heart disease, but the diagnostic gain from this resource-demanding procedure in the work-up of patients with PVBs is u...
Summary: This prospective, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) for patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions (FPVCs). Ninety participants will be randomized to TAES group and sham-TAES group with the ratio of 1:1. They will receive TAES plus usual care or sham-TAES plus usual care for 6 week...
Summary: Retrospective registry will compare subjects who've undergone a mapping and/or ablation procedure for either ischemic ventricular tachycardia or premature ventricular contraction using an epicardial approach with either manual or remote magnetic navigation. Subjects will be compared with regards to safety, efficacy and mortality.
Summary: Patients with refractory ventricular extrasystoles or tachycardia not eligible for catheter ablation will receive single fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (cardiac radiosurgery) with 25 Gy.Investigators initiated this study to demonstrate that in at least 70% of the patients the planned cardiac radiosurgery may be performed without any interruption or treatment related interventional ev...
Summary: The ECTOPIA trial is a randomized, multicenter, clinical trial to assess elimination of ventricular premature beats (VPB) with catheter ablation versus optimal anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD) treatment with flecainide/verapamil or sotalol.
Summary: This study will measure the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Medtronic CardioInsight wearable 252 electrode vest in predicting the chamber of origin of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and compare its diagnostic accuracy with the standard 12- lead ECG.
Summary: This is a prospective multi-center international registry. The objective of this registry is to collect prospective data on patients undergoing catheter ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC). The registry will be used for clinical monitoring, research, and quality improvement purposes.
Summary: 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.
Summary: Pacemapping is an essential tool during ablation of idiopathic PVC and VT. Automated template matching has been shown to have a significant influence on PVC ablation procedures, but the PASO module of CARTO3 has not been studied in a randomized trial. The Aim of this study is to evaluate the additional benefit of PASO template matching on PVC ablation procedure with regard to procedural parameters...
Summary: Feasibility of Improving Risk Stratification in Brugada Syndrome (BrS), retrospective cohort study To study the reproducibility and specificity of V-CoS for activation heterogeneities predisposing to VT/VF in a larger series of BrS patients and determining the incidence of low V-CoS score in a larger cohort of control patients.Population of 10 patients undergoing ablation for non-VT arrhythmia, 10...
