The Role of High Density Surface ECG in the Diagnosis of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)

An interventional study of 80 lead ECG in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, sponsored by The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-05-19.

Study summary

The diagnosis of Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy can be difficult. The 80 lead ECG may increase the specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing this potentially life threatening inherited cardiac condition. This pilot would form the basis of a much larger clinical trial to test the utility of this novel diagnostic tool.
