Catheter ablation for severe heart rhythm storms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether heart catheter ablation can safely stop repeated dangerous heart rhythms in people with heart disease. It may help those who are having frequent episodes that cause very low blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have structural heart disease (like cardiomyopathy or damage from a heart attack).
- You have had more than three episodes of a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) in 24 hours.
- During these episodes, your blood pressure drops very low and you feel symptoms like dizziness or fainting.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study tests a new method using two types of energy to treat a fast heartbeat coming from the lower heart chambers. It is designed for people whose symptoms have not been controlled by medication and who do not have other serious heart conditions.
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.
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.
