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 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 study is testing a new catheter (a thin tube that goes into the heart) to map and treat fast heart rhythms. It may be an option for people with certain types of heart rhythm problems who are scheduled for a catheter ablation procedure.
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 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.
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.
