History of Changes
  Purpose

T-wave alternans is a test that looks at microvolt changes in the T-wave on a beat to beat basis. The presence or absence of such changes has been shown to predict or exclude future arrhythmic events. The mechanism of T-wave alternans is unclear, but may relate to calcium metabolism in the heart, and may be affected by conditions such as ischemia or heart failure.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether T-wave alternans, as measured through the lead of an implantable defibrillator, is produced by acute ischemia induced by occlusion during percutaneous coronary interventions.


Condition Intervention
Ischemia
 Procedure: Percutaneous coronary intervention

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Intracardiac T-wave Alternans and Ischemia During Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

Further study details as provided by Columbia University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Subjects With Positive T Wave Studies During a Coronary Intervention [ Time Frame: During the coronary intervention, upto 2 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Positive T wave alternans is determined by a proprietary program using ECG recordings during a stress test. The result is reported as positive, negative, or indeterminate.
