Study how ventricular tachycardia happens in heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what causes a dangerous fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy and an implanted defibrillator. The goal is to better understand the rhythm so doctors can improve treatment, especially around procedures like catheter ablation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart weakness caused by reduced blood flow to the heart).
- You have a single- or dual-chamber implantable defibrillator (ICD).
- Your heart condition is not non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (not from causes other than reduced blood flow).
- You can safely have a catheter procedure done (catheter ablation), based on your doctors’ assessment.
- You do not have severe artery disease or another reason you cannot access arteries for the procedure.

This trial tests a special catheter to map abnormal heart rhythms like ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who need a procedure to find and treat the source of these fast or irregular heartbeats.
This trial is testing a new approach to treating a fast, dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that comes from scar tissue in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to use a special mapping technique to guide the ablation (a procedure that destroys the tiny area causing the problem) to stop the arrhythmia.
This study compares two catheter-based procedures to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT), a fast, dangerous heart rhythm. It looks to see which approach works better at reducing repeat VT events in people with weakened heart pumping.
This trial tests a new catheter-based procedure to treat life-threatening irregular heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia) that keep coming back despite medication. If you've had a heart attack and your implanted defibrillator hasn't fully controlled these arrhythmias, this procedure might help prevent future episodes.
This study looks at people who are newly diagnosed with a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT) and who are getting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). It may help improve how patients are followed in the ICD clinic after the initial hospitalization.
This study tests a new way to find the exact spot in the heart that causes rapid heartbeats, so doctors can treat it more precisely with a procedure called catheter ablation.
