Guiding heart ablation with 3D heart mapping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new heart-mapping technique to help doctors treat a fast heart rhythm caused by heart disease. It might improve the precision of the procedure, making it safer and more effective for patients with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with structural heart disease (damaged heart muscle, often from a past heart attack or other cause).
- You have had a type of fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia, or an implantable defibrillator has fired to correct it.
- Your doctor has already scheduled you for a catheter ablation to treat this rhythm problem.
- You can sit or stand for a short time to take a 3D picture of your torso, and you can have an MRI or CT scan.

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.
This study tests a new way of mapping damaged heart muscle to improve the precision of a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats dangerously fast heart rhythms. It may help people with heart disease who need this procedure.
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 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 trial tests a special catheter to map abnormal heart rhythms like ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who need a procedure to find and treat the source of these fast or irregular heartbeats.
This study tests if doing a special heart procedure (catheter ablation) at the same time as implanting a defibrillator (ICD) can prevent dangerous heart rhythms better than the ICD alone. It is for people with a very weak heart pump due to blocked arteries who are getting a first-time ICD.
