Study of new ventricular arrhythmia patients getting ICD follow-up
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a new (first-time) diagnosis of VT confirmed on an ECG, heart monitor, AED, or device recordings
- The VT episode lasted more than 30 seconds
- You have (or plan to have) an ICD implanted during your current hospital stay
- You have been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease, such as scar-related, dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive, or similar causes)
- You have (or will have) follow-up visits at an ICD clinic

This study follows people who are scheduled to get a new ICD (a device that helps protect the heart) and asks about their experiences and quality of life. It may help doctors understand what patients feel and how people do after ICD implantation.
This study is a registry that collects information from people with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy who have an ICD. The goal is to learn more about the condition, its heart rhythm complications, and how the ICD works, which may help improve future care.
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.
This study tests a new type of defibrillator that goes underneath the skin, near your breastbone, to protect against dangerous heart rhythms. It may be an option if you need an ICD but haven't had certain prior chest surgeries or devices.
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
This study checks how well implanted heart rhythm devices can detect rhythm problems in everyday patients. It may help improve detection and follow-up over the next year.
