Heart imaging and planning for cardiac radiation therapy

This trial tests a new radiation treatment called stereotactic radioablation (STAR) to treat dangerous heart rhythms caused by scar tissue in the heart muscle. Instead of surgery, doctors use focused radiation beams to target and destroy the scarred areas causing the irregular heartbeats.

This study tests a type of radiation therapy (called cardiac radioablation) to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT) in people who still have symptoms despite medications and prior heart procedures. It aims to reduce VT episodes and improve quality of life.

This trial uses special heart imaging during a catheter ablation to better map scar tissue that may be causing a dangerous fast heart rhythm (monomorphic ventricular tachycardia). It may help doctors target the problem more accurately during the procedure.

This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.

This trial tests a focused type of radiation to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) that keeps coming back despite other treatments. It may help people who cannot (or do not want to) have the usual catheter procedure to fix the rhythm.

This trial studies a heart rhythm procedure (“ablation”) for people with ischemic cardiomyopathy who have ongoing episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia. It aims to reduce these dangerous rhythm events, especially when standard anti-rhythm medications don’t work or can’t be used.
