Heart radiation therapy for ventricular tachycardia II study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if targeted radiation therapy can help people with a serious heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT) that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce dangerous heart rhythm episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ventricular tachycardia (VT) that hasn't been controlled with other treatments.
- A team of doctors has agreed that this radiation therapy might be an option for you.
- You can understand the study and agree to participate in writing.
- You are willing to come back for follow-up appointments.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have never had radiation therapy that affected your heart before.
- Your doctor thinks you are likely to live longer than 6 months, even without the VT.

This trial studies a non-invasive treatment using focused radiation to target the heart tissue causing dangerous heart rhythms. It may be an option for people who have already had a catheter ablation but still get episodes of ventricular tachycardia.
This trial tests a new way of mapping the heart's electrical activity during a procedure called catheter ablation, which aims to treat a fast heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT). The hope is that this personalised approach will make the procedure more effective in stopping these abnormal rhythms.
This study tests a targeted approach to treat ventricular tachycardia (a fast, abnormal heart rhythm) by finding and destroying the specific scar tissue in the heart that causes it. The goal is to improve the success of the standard ablation procedure.
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.
This trial studies a radiation approach (called stereotactic body radiation therapy, or SBRT) to treat ventricular tachycardia (a dangerous heart rhythm) that keeps coming back. It aims to reduce the rhythm episodes in people who have already tried catheter ablation (a procedure to cauterize rhythm sources) or cannot have it.
This study tests a form of focused radiation (SBRT) to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT) when medicines and other procedures haven't worked. It may help reduce the number of VT episodes and improve your quality of life.
