AVERT-VT Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new way to find the best places to zap during ablation procedures for people with VT. The goal is to make the procedure more effective and shorter.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a rapid heartbeat condition called Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) due to heart scarring. They must have had an MRI scan showing this scarring and be considered suitable for ablation therapy by their heart doctors. People with very poor kidney function, pregnant women, or those who can't undergo an MRI are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new 'virtual heart' imaging/simulation method to find the best spots in the heart to perform ablation on patients with VT. It aims to see if targeting these sites helps stop VT and reduces the time needed for the procedure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical risks of ablation procedures include bleeding or infection at the catheter site, damage to blood vessels or heart tissue, irregular heartbeats, and rarely more serious complications.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- You need to have a specific type of heart MRI before the procedure. If you have a pacemaker or defibrillator from Johns Hopkins University, you may be eligible.I have ventricular tachycardia due to heart scarring.I am not pregnant, as the study requires an MRI with a contrast that is unsafe for pregnancy.If you have a certain type of heart problem that is found during the pre-procedure imaging, you cannot take part in the study.I am at least 18 years old.My kidney function is good enough for an MRI with contrast.My heart specialist agrees I am a good candidate for VT ablation.
