Telling apart two types of fast heartbeats
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to tell apart two common types of fast heartbeats (AVNRT and orthodromic AVRT) during a special heart test called an electrophysiology study. If you have these types of fast heartbeats, this research may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a fast heartbeat (narrow complex supraventricular tachycardia) that was documented on an ECG or monitor.
- You must not have other types of fast heart rhythms like atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, or atrial fibrillation.
- Your resting ECG must not show a 'preexcitation' pattern (which is seen in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).
- You need to be scheduled for an electrophysiology study at Assiut University.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a way to stop a specific fast heart rhythm (AVNRT) using a freezing treatment guided by an ultrasound camera inside the heart. It may help people whose heart rhythm episodes come from a “slow pathway” wiring circuit.
This study looks at people who have frequent abnormal signals from the upper heart (supraventricular extra beats or short runs) and how that relates to atrial fibrillation risk. If you qualify, you may help researchers understand better ways to prevent or manage certain heart rhythm problems.
This study uses a high-resolution heart mapping system to locate where certain fast, re-entrant heart rhythms start and travel. It may help doctors better target treatments, especially when the rhythm comes from within the heart’s electrical “node” area.
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.
This study looks at how well a procedure called radiofrequency ablation works for people with an extra electrical pathway in the heart that can cause fast heartbeats. It compares outcomes between those with and without a specific ECG finding, to help doctors understand which treatment works best.
This study is testing a new way to detect a specific type of fast heart rhythm (called supraventricular tachycardia or SVT) in children. It may help improve how doctors find and monitor this condition in the future.
