Finding the exact spot of a heart extra wire
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to figure out exactly where a tiny extra electrical wire in your heart (called a septal accessory pathway) is located, to help guide the procedure that fixes it. It might help make the treatment more precise and safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a septal accessory pathway (a tiny extra wire in your heart that can cause fast heartbeats), whether the pathway is obvious on an EKG or hidden.
- You are scheduled to have an electrophysiology study and ablation in the cardiology department at Assiut University Heart Hospital.
- You have not had a failed ablation or repeat procedure for this same pathway before.
- You do not have more than one extra pathway in your heart.
- You do not have a heart defect you were born with or any other structural heart disease.

This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can analyze your heart's electrical signal (ECG) to help doctors locate the exact spot of an extra electrical pathway before your procedure. It aims to make the procedure faster and safer by providing more precise information.
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 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 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 trial tests a new way to map the heart's electrical signals to help doctors better target and treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you're having a procedure to treat AF, this study may help improve the success of your treatment.
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.
