Using heart electrical signals to study treatments for dangerous heart rhythms in active people
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can help doctors understand if treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in active people. It involves people with or without heart devices like ICDs or pacemakers, and may help improve care for active individuals with heart conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be physically active, getting at least 3 hours of exercise or activity per week.
- You may have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or a pacemaker, or you may not have any heart device.
- You must be willing to give written consent and understand spoken and written English.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have had heart surgeries like stents or bypass (CABG), or have unstable dangerous heart rhythms.

This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can predict sudden cardiac arrest in people with a weakened heart muscle. It may help doctors identify who is at highest risk.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack or cardiac arrest to find out which dangerous heart rhythms can happen afterward. The goal is to improve care and prevent future problems.
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
This study checks how well implanted heart rhythm devices can detect rhythm problems in everyday patients. It may help improve detection and follow-up over the next year.
This study follows patients who have a heart rhythm device (pacemaker, defibrillator, or resynchronization device) and have experienced brief episodes of fast irregular heartbeats detected by the device. The study compares treatment approaches to understand which helps patients stay healthier and feel better.
This trial tests whether a programmed heart rhythm test can better identify who needs an implanted defibrillator (ICD) soon after a heart attack. It may help prevent dangerous fast heart rhythms (tachyarrhythmias) by guiding who gets an ICD.
