Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia (VT) Storm, Gene Expression in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Patients With Electrical Storm

Completed

Conditions studied: Arrhythmias

In brief

The purpose of the proposed pilot study is to identify factors which are associated with periods of high ventricular arrhythmia burden. This will be performed by analysis of gene expression from peripheral blood samples.
