Using a new mapping method to guide treatment for fast heartbeats after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You have had a heart attack in the past that damaged your heart muscle.
- You have a heart device (ICD or CRT-D) implanted.
- You have had at least one shock from your device or at least 3 fast heart rate episodes treated by your device in the last 6 months.
- You had a CT or MRI scan of your heart within the last 6 months.
- You are considered a suitable candidate for a procedure called VT ablation.

This trial tests a new way of mapping the heart's electrical activity during a procedure called catheter ablation, which aims to treat a fast heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT). The hope is that this personalised approach will make the procedure more effective in stopping these abnormal rhythms.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart images and guide doctors during a procedure to stop dangerous fast heart rhythms called ventricular tachycardia.
This study tests a new catheter that helps doctors find the exact spot in the heart causing a fast or irregular heartbeat. It may help people with certain types of arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, or atrial fibrillation, who are planning to have a procedure called ablation.
This trial tests a new catheter system (Sphere-9 and Affera) to treat a fast, dangerous heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia (VT) in people with heart scarring. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective at stopping VT, especially if past treatments haven't worked.
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 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.
