Recurrent Ventricular Arrythmias in ICU
300 participantsStarted 2025-07-01
Plain-language summary
Electrical storm (ES) is a life-threatening syndrome defined by the recurrence of ventricular arrythmias.
ES is also represented by a wide spectrum of clinical situations ranging from recurrent monomorphic VT reduced by anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) in relatively stable patients to recurrent VF in hemodynamically unstable patients.
Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and predictors of long term mortality following hospitalization in the intensive care unit for ES, in a large retrospective multicentric study.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial focuses on recurrent ventricular arrhythmias in the ICU, sometimes alongside cardiogenic shock or electrical storm — how does my specific situation compare to what this trial is studying, and would my doctor consider me a potential candidate to discuss further?
2Since this trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' how long might it realistically be before it opens to patients, and is waiting for it a reasonable option given my current condition or should we be pursuing treatment now?
3The trial is measuring mortality as its primary outcome — what does that tell us about how serious the condition being studied is, and what should I understand about the risks involved in both participating and not participating?
4This study doesn't seem to have a standard phase designation, which can sometimes mean it's an observational or registry-type study rather than a treatment trial — can my doctor clarify what kind of study this is and whether it would actually change the treatment I receive?
5Are there existing standard treatments for ventricular arrhythmias or electrical storm that my doctor would recommend I consider first, and how would participating in this trial fit alongside or instead of those options?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
