Study Details
Computer Model of Abnormal Heart Rhythm
(IRB#: IRB_00128325)
Arrhythmias is the improper beating of the heart. This study wants to learn more about peoples arrhythmias from the heart's upper chamber. This happens when people have had an ablation for a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (rapid heart rate). An ablation is done to improve the heart condition. People in the study will be planning a redo ablation and have procedures that generally take place and are not done specifically for the study, such as an MRI (a tool used to see inside the body). This will help show areas of scar tissue in the atrium. Additional ablation may also take place. Being in the study requires attending regularly scheduled in-person visits to the clinic related to ablation. Medical information will be collected to see the heart's rhythm for up to 5 years. This study will use scar information to make a computer model of the arrhythmia and use that to guide treatment.
