HEAL-IST IDE Trial

Purpose

Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST) is a prevalent and debilitating condition in otherwise healthy younger patients, resulting in significant loss of quality of life, lacking effective treatment options or systematic clinical evidence to support a therapy. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a hybrid sinus node sparing ablation procedure for the treatment of symptomatic drug refractory or drug intolerant IST.

Condition

  • Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia

Documentation of refractoriness (intolerance or failure) of a drug (e.g., rate control drugs such as beta-blockers/calcium channel blockers, ivabradine), and/or AADs 4. Subject is willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Subjects on whom cardiac surgery or single lung ventilation cannot be performed 2. Subjects with indication for or existing ICDs/Pacemakers 3. Presence of channelopathies 4.

Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results
