About this study

Aim of this study is to collect data from pace mapping performed in three groups of patients : patients presenting ventricular tachycardia and infarction history, patients presenting infarction history without presenting ventricular tachycardia, and in patients without structural heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) represent an important problem in western countries. 350 000 deaths are attributable to ventricular arrhythmias in Europe every year. The gold standard treatment is to implant a cardiac defibrillator that will be able to stop arrhythmia by delivering pacing or internal shocks.

In order to avoid internal shocks, ablation techniques have been developed, consisting in placing catheters in the left ventricle, to induce the VT, and then to perform a mapping of its circuit. Once this circuit is clearly defined, ablation of the critical part of the circuit, so called VT isthmus can be performed, using a radiofrequency power. One of the limitations of this technique is that it requires VT induction during the procedure, and that the VT lasts long enough to enable its mapping.

Nancy University Hospital developed a technique using pace mapping to define the VT isthmus even when the VT is not sustained. The pace mapping technique enables to reveal conduction troubles in the studied ventricles, that correspond with the VT isthmus.

During this study, the investigators will collect pace-mapping data from ventricles of patient presenting infarction history and VT, from patients with infarction history without VT, and from patients without ventricular pathology.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete electrophysiology datasets for each group

    Collection of all complete electrophysiology datasets for each group. A data set consists of the electro-anatomical data generated by the Carto system and ECG data collected during topo-stimulation.

    Collection of all complete electrophysiology datasets for each group. A data set consists of the electro-anatomical data generated by the Carto system and ECG data collected during pace-mapping.

    It will be considered complete if 100 measurement points have been acquired (pace-mapping and ECG), covering all 17 segments of the left ventricle.

    Measured: the electrophysiological exploration is carried out the day after the patient's hospitalization and the datasets are generated just after removing the catheter from the patient, ie about 3 hours later the beginning of the exploration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pace-mapping and Standard pace-mapping examination in people with Ventricular Tachycardia, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2022. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jean-Marc SELLAL (0033 3 83 15 32 56, jm.sellal@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete electrophysiology datasets for each group (time frame: the electrophysiological exploration is carried out the day after the patient's hospitalization and the datasets are generated just after removing the catheter from the patient, ie about 3 hours later the beginning of the exploration). 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 NCT03611465, 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 9 Aug 2022.
