About this study

This study will measure the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Medtronic CardioInsight wearable 252 electrode vest in predicting the chamber of origin of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and compare its diagnostic accuracy with the standard 12- lead ECG.

Read the detailed description

Until recently, the only non-invasive diagnostic modality to help identify the location of ventricular arrhythmias was the 12 lead ECG. The Medtronic CardioInsight wearable vest is a recently FDA approved diagnostic modality noninvasive, single beat cardiac mapping system that provides 3D electroanatomic maps of the ventricular chambers. CardioInsight projects unipolar signals collected from a 252-electrode vest to cardiac chambers imaged with a non-contrast CT of the chest. The created non-invasive 3D electroanatomical maps can be evaluated by the physicians pre-procedurally but also during the actual electrophysiology study (EPS).

The technology has been approved by FDA for non-invasive mapping of any arrhythmias, however there is little evidence on its value in predicting the origin of ventricular arrhythmias and its proven diagnostic superiority over the standard 12-lead ECG.

With this study the investigators seek to assess the sensitivity and specificity of CardioInsight in predicting the chamber of origin of ventricular arrhythmias and compare its diagnostic accuracy with the standard 12-lead ECG. The study will include thirty patients with ventricular arrhythmias undergoing EPS and ablation. The day of the procedure patients will be fitted with the CardioInsight vest and undergo a non-contrast CT chest. Spontaneous arrhythmias will be recorded and noninvasive 3D maps will be created prior and during the EPS. The non-invasive maps will be used, per operator discretion, in designing mapping and ablative strategies during the EPS. The true origin of the arrhythmia will be determined during the EPS. In addition, the investigators will perform threshold pacing from common site of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias. The 12-lead ECGs and non-invasive maps will be stored for off line review and analysis.

Non-invasive maps, as well as ECGs of spontaneous arrhythmias and pacemaps will be evaluated off line by 2 electrophysiologists blinded to the results of the EPS. The sensitivity and specificity of the 12 lead ECG, as well as the non-invasive maps, in predicting the site of origin of the ventricular arrhythmias and pacemaps will be calculated and compared.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Non Invasive Electroanatomical MappingDiagnostic test

    All patients will undergo non contrast CT chest and be fitted with the Medtronic CardioInsight wearable 252 electrode vest. Non invasive electroanatomical maps of the ventricular arrhythmia will be created. All patients will be then brought to the electrophysiology laboratory and undergo an invasive electrophysiology study and ablation of the ventricular arrhythmia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Premature Ventricular Complex and Ventricular Arrythmia, run by Northwell Health at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 20 Apr 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 United States. 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?

Predicting Origin (time frame: 12 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Apr 2022.
