Testing pulsed field ablation for ventricular arrhythmias
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a type of fast or irregular heartbeat from the lower chambers of the heart (ventricular arrhythmia) that needs ablation, and it's frequent, sustained, or dangerous.
- If you need a special heart device called an ICD, you must already have one or agree to get one soon.
- You cannot have had major heart surgery or a stroke/heart attack in the past 3 months.
- Your heart's pumping strength must be better than 35%, and your heart should not be severely enlarged.

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 study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
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.
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem) using a special catheter that delivers quick electrical pulses to fix the heart's rhythm. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective, which might offer an alternative to traditional treatments.
This study tests a new type of catheter ablation (a procedure that uses energy to treat irregular heartbeats) for atrial fibrillation—a common heart rhythm problem. You may qualify if you have recurring irregular heartbeats that haven't responded well to heart medications and are planning to have this procedure.
