Ultrasound-guided imaging for heart rhythm ablation planning
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to use heart ultrasound images together with other heart scans to better plan catheter ablation for dangerous heart rhythm problems. It may help doctors identify the right target areas in the heart before you have the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been advised to get a catheter ablation for a ventricular rhythm problem (such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) or frequent extra beats
- You are also expected to have a contrast-enhanced heart CT scan before the procedure to help map heart structure
- Your platelet count is at least 100,000 cells per mm³
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 45

This study tests a new imaging technique to help guide heart ablation procedures for certain heart rhythm problems. It may help doctors see exactly where to treat.
This trial tests a new heart-mapping technique to help doctors treat a fast heart rhythm caused by heart disease. It might improve the precision of the procedure, making it safer and more effective for patients with this condition.
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 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 uses special heart imaging during a catheter ablation to better map scar tissue that may be causing a dangerous fast heart rhythm (monomorphic ventricular tachycardia). It may help doctors target the problem more accurately during the procedure.
This study tests a new imaging system (VERAFEYE) that helps doctors guide catheter ablation, a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if the system makes the procedure safer or more effective.
