U.S., Oct. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07201506) titled 'Real-Time Intracardiac Echocardiography for Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on Sept. 23.
Brief Summary: This study is investigating whether using ultrasound directly inside the heart during ablation of heart rhythm disorders in the ventricles can reduce radiation exposure for patients.
During an ablation, catheters are guided through the heart to treat the abnormal electrical signals. Usually, X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) is used to see where the catheters are, which exposes both patients and hospital staff to radiation.
The study is randomized and controlled: half of the participants will have the ab...
