Evaluating heart activity using advanced ECG technology

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of high-density electrocardiography (HD ECG) with 128 body surface leads compared to conventional 12-lead ECG in detecting cardiac electrical activity. The aim is to improve sensitivity in measuring global or regional cardiac activity, particularly in patients with severe ventricular arrhythmias. By capturing more comprehensive data, the study seeks to provide additional clinical insights that could enhance patient management and treatment outcomes.

* Women of childbearing age with effective contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

* patients under 14 years old,
