Summary: Cardiac implantable electronic devices are widely utilized to lower the rates of morbidity and mortality from ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, as well as the incidence of sudden cardiac death. Although implantation of these devices increases survival rates, patients may experience acute and chronic complications. These complications include device dislocation and fracture, ina...

Summary: This is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, sponsor unblinded, placebo-controlled, single-dose clinical study of CRD-4730 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CRD-4730 when administered as single oral doses to participants with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT). The study will have 2 cohorts in which participants wit...

Summary: To use programmed ventricular stimulation at the time of AF ablation to define the prevalence and mechanism of inducible ventricular tachycardia (VT); pace-mapping to define the site of origin of ventricular arrhythmias; and voltage mapping to define low voltage scar substrate in the basal LV in patients with pathogenic TTN variants compared to genotype-negative controls.

Summary: Steoreotactic therapy radioablation has become a standard of care option for patients with therapy-refractory ventricular tachycardia, yet long-term outcome is lacking. The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes, both efficacy and safety, after STAR in patients with therapy-refractory ventricular tachycardia.

Summary: The goal of this interventional study is to determine the minimum dose necessary for successful cardiac radioablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) and to study the utility of target volume definition using Delayed Enhancement Cardiac MRI (DE-CMR) .

Summary: Patients who have survived a myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. A severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a rough overall measure of impaired heart function after MI was shown to indicate a higher risk for SCD. Based on this observation, two landmark randomised trials,...

Summary: The primary objective of this pilot, pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is to evaluate if a modified cardiac arrest treatment algorithm calling for the administration of the initial amiodarone dose one 2-minute cycle earlier than current guidelines (during the same cycle as the initial dose of epinephrine) improves the time to amiodarone delivery in those with out-of-hospital cardiac...

Summary: Medtronic is sponsoring Enlighten: The EV-ICD Post Approval Registry, to further confirm safety and effectiveness of EV-ICD in routine clinical practice, following commercial release of EV-ICD devices.

Summary: The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of the new imaging/simulation (virtual heart) approach for determining the optimal ablation sites in patients with VT, which render post-infarction VT non-inducible. The study will test both the acute outcome of the ablation procedure, and the effect the use of the predicted targets has upon procedure time.

Summary: Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) remains suboptimal. Although current guidelines rely on severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 35%) as key predictor of arrhythmic risk and clinical indication of prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), this approach seems ina...

Summary: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are frequently associated with structural heart diseases (SHD) such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Myocardial fibrotic tissue plays a central role in the genesis and the maintenance of re-entrant VAs associated with post-myocarditis sequelae and late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) has proven to be...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the CCM-D System) can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are...
