Pulsed field ablation for ventricular tachycardia after heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of energy (pulsed field ablation) to treat a fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia that happens after a heart attack. The goal is to stop the dangerous rhythm without damaging nearby healthy tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had a heart attack in the past and have ischemic heart disease
- Your heart's pumping strength is at least 20% (measured recently)
- You have had a certain type of fast heart rhythm (monomorphic VT) that has happened more than once or despite medications or ICD therapy
- You are willing to follow the study plan and visit schedule

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 is testing a new approach to treating a fast, dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that comes from scar tissue in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to use a special mapping technique to guide the ablation (a procedure that destroys the tiny area causing the problem) to stop the arrhythmia.
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 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 way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
This trial tests a new way to treat dangerous fast heart rhythms from the lower heart chambers, using a technique called pulsed field ablation. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with frequent premature beats, sustained rapid heartbeats, or life-threatening rhythm problems.
