Researchers are studying how advanced 3D heart ultrasound combined with artificial intelligence can help doctors better understand and treat dangerous heart rhythms (ventricular arrhythmias). If you qualify, you'll have special imaging scans before receiving a treatment called catheter ablation, which uses heat or cold to fix the heart rhythm problem. The goal is to help doctors plan this treatment more precisely by using motion data from your heart.
Dangerous heart rhythms can be life-threatening, and current treatment planning methods don't always capture how the heart moves during its beat. This study aims to improve treatment planning by combining motion data with new imaging technology, which could lead to better outcomes and safer care.
As a participant, you would have special imaging scans of your heart before your scheduled ablation procedure — including a contrast-enhanced CT scan and a 3D ultrasound. Researchers would then analyze these scans using artificial intelligence to create a detailed map of your heart. You would not receive any experimental medication; this study focuses on improving how doctors plan your existing ablation treatment.
