SBRT treatment study for steady heart rhythm VT
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at using SBRT (high-precision radiation) to treat a dangerous, steady heart rhythm called monomorphic VT. It is meant for people who keep having VT even after prior ablation attempts and after trying a class III “rhythm-stabilizing” medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart muscle disease (ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy) shown on heart scans as scar or weak areas
- You have had repeat episodes of steady VT (monomorphic VT) confirmed by ECG/monitor or an ICD recording
- You either tried catheter ablation and it didn’t work/wasn’t possible, or ablation can’t be done
- You have kept having VT even while taking a class III antiarrhythmic medicine (or you can’t take it, or it didn’t work or wasn’t tolerated)
- Your heart rhythm is not mainly polymorphic VT or ventricular fibrillation
- You can give informed consent and are not pregnant

This study tests a type of radiation therapy (called cardiac radioablation) to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT) in people who still have symptoms despite medications and prior heart procedures. It aims to reduce VT episodes and improve quality of life.
This trial studies a radiation approach (called stereotactic body radiation therapy, or SBRT) to treat ventricular tachycardia (a dangerous heart rhythm) that keeps coming back. It aims to reduce the rhythm episodes in people who have already tried catheter ablation (a procedure to cauterize rhythm sources) or cannot have it.
This trial tests a focused type of radiation to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) that keeps coming back despite other treatments. It may help people who cannot (or do not want to) have the usual catheter procedure to fix the rhythm.
This trial compares two treatments—radiation therapy or catheter ablation—for people with structural heart disease who have a type of fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It aims to see which approach works better to prevent repeat episodes.
This Phase 2 study tests a precise form of radiation therapy to control recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT), a dangerous fast heart rhythm. It may help people whose VT keeps coming back despite heart medicines and/or ablation, especially when ablation is not possible.
This study tests a targeted form of radiation therapy to stop a dangerous, repeat heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It’s for people whose rhythm keeps coming back even after standard treatments like antiarrhythmic medications and prior heart procedure studies.
