Mechanical Alternans Study

Study of Mechanical Alternans for Prediction of Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias

Status: Completed
Phase: —
Study type: Observational
Enrollment: 134 (actual)

Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University · Academic / Other
Sex: All
Age: 18 Years

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether mechanical alternans (alternating strong and weak heart beats with a constant beat-to-beat interval), can be used to predict malignant ventricular arrhythmias, requiring defibrillation or appropriate ICD therapies, and to predict progression of heart failure and death.
