Active surveillance study using real-world data collected in the ASSURE Patient Registry. Outcome measures are based on analysis of ASSURE Registry data including data recorded by the WCD then annotated by clinical experts in electrophysiology.
A Prospective study on the performance and safety of the HeartStart OnSite (Model M5066A) \& HeartStart Home (Model M5068A) Defibrillator device data.
This study will help to provide better input to state health and education departments to improve the processes for CPR education. This will also help the EP council explore the opportunities to partner with other professional societies and other stake holders that have interest in this topic. Engagement of private-public partnerships for improving overall CPR education.
This post market clinical follow-up study is a multi-center, non-randomized, unblinded, observational registry of the performance of the FRx Automated external defibrillator (AED) used in conjunction with electrodes with or without use of the infant/child key. The registry is focused only on on post-event data collection and does not prescribe any device usage. This registry has several safeguards in place to prevent against selections bias, including enrollment of all participants who have pads placed. This registry will evaluate the safety and verify the clinical performance of the device in relation to its claims, when used in accordance with the Device Manual.
Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AVC) is a genetic condition which affects the heart and can lead to heart failure and rhythm problems, of which, sudden cardiac arrest or death is the most tragic and dangerous. Diagnosis and screening of blood-relatives is very difficult as the disease process can be subtle, but sufficient enough, so that the first event is sudden death. The Mayo Clinic AVC Registry is a collaboration between Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA and Papworth Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals, Cambridge, UK. The investigators aim to enroll patients with a history of AVC or sudden cardiac death which may be due to AVC, from the US and UK. Family members who are blood-relatives will also be invited, including those who do not have the condition. Data collected include symptoms, ECG, echocardiographic, MRI, Holter, loop recorder, biopsies, exercise stress testing, blood, buccal and saliva samples. Objectives of the study: 1. Discover new genes or altered genes (variants) which cause AVC 2. Identify biomarkers which predict (2a) disease onset, (2b) disease progression, (2c) and the likelihood of arrhythmia (ventricular, supra-ventricular and atrial fibrillation) 3. Correlate genotype with phenotype in confirmed cases of AVC followed longitudinally using clinical, electrocardiographic and imaging data. 4. Characterize desmosomal changes in buccal mucosal cells with genotype and validate with gold-standard endomyocardial biopsies
The aim of "iSCAD," the International Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Registry, is to serve as an internationally collaborative, multicenter registry coordinated by an experienced and centralized coordinating center in an effort to increase the pace of participant recruitment, and thereby increase statistical power of studies related to SCAD. The ultimate goal of iSCAD Registry is to facilitate the development of best practices and clinical guidelines for preventing SCAD or its recurrence. This observational study will be prospective and retrospective in its recruitment and will collect clinical information to better understand the natural history and prognosis for SCAD.
Epilepsy is a common condition which affects over 3 million people in the US. Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy have a lifetime risk of sudden unexpected death (SUDEP) of 35%, which is greatest in those under 40 years of age. The exact mechanisms and causes are not understood but can be due to underlying conditions which affect the heart and brain, which may lead to dangerous heart rhythms and death. Some of these conditions which affect heart and brain have an identifiable genetic cause. This study aims to identify known genetic causes of heart rhythm and sudden death related disorders in patients with epilepsy.
