A Study of Continuous Simultaneous Recording of Skin Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Electrocardiography for Predicting the Sudden Start of Ventricular Arrhythmia Events and Response to Treatment

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to use a noninvasive method of recording together skin sympathetic nerve activity and electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the sympathetic activity of the heart. The potential use of this is in the prediction of ventricular arrhymia and identifying the response to resynchronization therapy.
