Non-invasive Programmed Stimulation to Identify High-risk Patients With Implanted Cardioverter-defibrillator
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Sustained or hemodynamically unstable arrhythmia induction during non-invasive programmed stimulation for Malignant Arrhythmia. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a widely used and effective therapy which reduces the risk of cardiac death in many cardiac diseases, both implanted for secondary and primary prevention. It is known that recurrent arrhythmias and ICD discharges have adverse prognostic significance. Parameters that would identify patients who are at increased risk of arrhythmias and appropriate ICD interventions would be of clinical value. The aim of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of non-invasive programmed stimulation (NIPS) in determining the likelihood of life-threatening arrhythmic events in patients with ICD.
