Ventricular Arrhythmia Increases Sympathetic Activity Determined By A Skin Nerve Recording
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to utilize neuECG, a new method to directly and non-invasively record skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) and electrocardiogram (ECG), to non-invasively assess the effects radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) on SKNA in patients at high risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA).

Imaging Integration Into Electroanatomic Mapping for Catheter Ablation Procedures of Ventricular Arrhythmias
Rochester, MN
The aim of the present study is to assess the use of high-resolution imaging data from CT and or MRI processed in 3D meshes with the use of the MUSIC software (inHEART, Bordeuax, France) and integrated within the EP lab environment to assist catheter ablation procedures. The MUSIC software is a proprietary software developed by cardiac electrophysiology and radiology researchers at the University of Bordeuax, France, that allows high-resolution recostruction of CT and MRI cardiac imaging for integration into electroanatomic maps in ablation procedures2,3.

A Study of In Vitro Mapping of Cardiac Tissue Obtained from Patients with Refractory Arrhythmias who Underwent Heart Transplant or Replacement with Mechanical Heart
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to obtain electro-anatomic maps of human myocardium in sinus rhythm and ventricular arrhythmias to identify activation patterns, identify and perform tissue ablation at targeted sites of interest that could play an important trigger for development of arrhythmias, and to perform histologic analysis of the myocardial tissue to identify triggers and/or targets for therapies to terminate ventricular arrhythmias.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of arrhythmia-induced events between paediatric Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) patients with and without implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICDs), and to determine the quality of life and psychosocial functioning of paediatric CPVT patients with and without ICDs.

A Prevalence and Incidence Study Burden of Atrial and Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients with Sleep Apnea and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine prevalence of sleep apnea in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
-
Analysis of Outcomes of Left Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation in Arrhythmia Syndromes and Cardiomyopathies
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to collect and review the Mayo Clinic experience with left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) in patients with heritable arrhythmias syndromes or refractory ventricular arrhythmias beginning in 2000.
-
A Study of Subcutaneous ICD Therapy Combined With VT Ablation for the Secondary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a management approach that incorporates VT-ablation and S-ICD implantation in secondary prevention patients. This is a single arm prospective study with 30 patients eligible for implantation of an ICD for the secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.
-
A Study of Silent Cerebral Lesions in Patients Undergoing Left Heart Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effect of atrial fibrillation on memory and thinking. This study helps us to determine how often memory problems occur in patients with atrial fibrillation and identify factors that influence changes in memory and thinking.
-
