What is an arrhythmia?An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Changes in the electrical signals that control your heartbeat cause arrhythmias.When your heart beats faster than normal, it's called tachycardia.When your heart beats too slowly, it's called bradycardia.When the signal to beat comes too early, it's calle…

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) contributes to over 350,000 sudden deaths each year in the US. Malignant VTs involve an electrical "short circuit" in the heart, formed by narrow channels of surviving tissue inside myocardial scar. An importan…
Data collection registry for patients with ventricular tachycardia to help physicians give better care for patients clinically and procedurally.
This is an observational, prospective, multi-center registry, aiming at building a risk stratification for malignant inherited ventricular arrhythmias, including Brugada syndrome(Brs)、Long QT syndrome(LQTS)、Short QT syndrome(SQTS)、Early re…
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal and dangerous heart rhythm affecting the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles). Patients with structural heart disease caused by previous heart attacks are at an increased risk of developi…
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder. Special pacemakers called implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) help treat VT episodes, however they do not prevent the VT episodes from occurring. Catheter abla…
This is a pragmatic, two-group, cluster randomized trial designed to compare strategies for the Anti Tachycardia Pacing (ATP)-setting in the ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) zone when implanting a new implantable cardioverter defibrillato…
This is a research study that aims to understand if giving a lower dose of treatment all at once is as effective and safe as dividing it into three smaller doses for patients with a heart condition called refractory ventricular tachycardia…
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Adagio Medical vCLAS Ventricular Ablation System (including VTS Catheter and Console) in the ablation treatment of Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Ta…
