Personalized treatment for abnormal heartbeats needing ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a customized treatment plan for people who have premature ventricular beats (PVCs) and have been referred for a procedure called PVC ablation. It may help doctors choose the best approach for stopping these extra heartbeats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctor has referred you for PVC ablation (a procedure to treat PVCs)
- You are being evaluated for treatment of premature ventricular beats (PVCs)
- You are able to be seen at the study site for screening and any study steps

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to treat premature ventricular contractions (extra heartbeats that can cause symptoms). One approach is a catheter ablation (a procedure that destroys the tissue causing the extra beats), and the other is using anti-arrhythmic drugs (medications to control the rhythm). If you have frequent PVCs and a healthy heart, this trial could help you find the best treatment.
This study uses a special ultrasound camera on a thin tube inside your heart (intracardiac echocardiography) to help doctors see the area causing your heart rhythm problem more clearly during the standard procedure (ablation). It may help them burn the wrong tissue more precisely.
This trial tests a new way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
This trial studies how a drug called adenosine helps doctors understand why premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are happening. The goal is to guide treatment, including catheter ablation, for people with PVCs.
This study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial tests a new way of mapping the heart's electrical activity during a procedure called catheter ablation, which aims to treat a fast heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT). The hope is that this personalised approach will make the procedure more effective in stopping these abnormal rhythms.
