Mapping to guide ablation for ventricular tachycardia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to map the heart's electrical activity to guide a procedure that destroys the tissue causing fast, dangerous heart rhythms. It's for people with heart disease and ventricular tachycardia that hasn't been controlled by medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a sustained episode of ventricular tachycardia (lasting more than 30 seconds) in the last 6 months.
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work or caused side effects.
- You have structural heart disease (like a prior heart attack or cardiomyopathy) with scarring on your heart muscle.
- You do not have an active infection, recent heart surgery, or other serious conditions that would make the procedure unsafe.

This trial studies a procedure to fix abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) in people who have an LVAD and a defibrillator (ICD) or an alternative device. It may help prevent future dangerous rhythm episodes after LVAD treatment.
This study checks whether repeating detailed “electrical mapping” inside the heart can better assess how well catheter ablation is working for an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It may help doctors fine-tune treatment plans after your procedure, based on how your heart’s signals change over time.
This trial tests a new mapping technique during heart rhythm ablation surgery to help doctors identify and treat abnormal heart rhythms more precisely. The goal is to personalize treatment based on each patient's unique heart condition.
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 a new way to map the heart's electrical activity during a procedure to treat a fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It uses a special catheter and mapping system to help guide the treatment more precisely.
This trial tests two different ways of mapping the heart to guide treatment for a dangerous fast heart rhythm. The goal is to see which mapping method works better for people with an ICD who need a procedure called ablation to stop the rhythm.
