Personalized treatment for patients with premature ventricular beats
Run by Oslo University Hospital · NCT04617717 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a special heart scan can help doctors better understand and treat patients who have frequent irregular heartbeats called premature ventricular beats.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients referred for PVC ablation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without premature ventricular beats or those with significant structural heart disease may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic gain of cardiac MRI in patients experiencing frequent premature ventricular beats (PVBs). It seeks to determine whether cardiac MRI is the gold standard for ruling out structural heart disease in these patients and to explore the potential of non-invasive heart rate parameters in guiding treatment strategies. The study will involve various interventions, including invasive electrophysiological studies, cardiac MRI, and Holter monitoring, to gather comprehensive data on the condition. By addressing these key questions, the study aims to improve diagnostic efficacy and treatment strategies for patients with PVBs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients suffering from premature ventricular beats.
How similar studies have gone: While the role of cardiac MRI in this specific context is being evaluated, similar studies have shown promise in using advanced imaging techniques for cardiac conditions.
