Studying causes of rapid heart rhythms for better understanding.

Phase N/A

This study aims to learn more about **ventricular tachycardia (VT)**, a condition where the heart beats too fast due to electrical problems in the heart muscle, called the myocardium. Researchers want to find out which parts of the heart cause these issues by examining the heart's electrical signals. They will use a tool called the **MAP catheter** during a VT ablation, a treatment procedure, to study these signals without changing the usual treatment.

Key Points:

  • The study is for people with ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart disease due to blocked blood vessels) who have an ICD (a device that helps regulate heartbeats).
  • The study does not involve any additional risks beyond standard VT ablation procedures.
  • Participation is not allowed if you have had a recent heart attack, cardiac arrest, or certain other heart conditions.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
