Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Atrial Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia

Who may be able to join

  • Be in sinus rhythm
  • Have the ability to provide informed consent for study participation and be willing and able to comply with the Clinical Investigational Plan described evaluations
  • Be undergoing mapping and ablation that requires left heart access for either ventricular tachycardia (VT) or atrial fibrillation (AF) according to HRS (Heart Rhythm Society)/ESC (European Society of Cardiology)/German National guidelines. The patient needs to have at least one of the following indications for left heart mapping and ablation to be included in the study: a) Symptomatic sustained monomorphic VT (SMVT), or b) Frequent PVCs, non-sustained VT, or VT that is presumed to cause ventricular dysfunction, or c) Bundle branch reentrant or interfascicular VTs, or d) Symptomatic AF with indication for ablation per current HRS/ESC/German National guidelines in a patient who is either 1) refractory or intolerant to at least one Class 1 or Class 3 antiarrhythmic medication, or 2) unable/unwilling to take antiarrhythmic drug therapy and chooses ablation as the first line of therapy

Who cannot join

  • Have permanent AF
  • Exhibit Cheyne-Stokes respiration
  • Have a recent myocardial infarction within 40 days prior to enrollment
  • Have undergone cardiac surgery or coronary revascularization procedure within 3 months prior to enrollment or be scheduled for such procedures
  • Have had a recent CVA or TIA within 3 months prior to enrollment
  • Be less than 18 years of age
  • Be pregnant
  • Be currently participating in any other clinical investigation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Tachycardia, Ventricular, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of Ventricular Wall Motion Characterization (time frame: Mapping and Ablation Procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01629160, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2019.
