Improving outcomes in patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias

这笔赠款的重点是改善危及生命的室性心律失常(VAS)患者的预后。这项名为“增强-VA”的试验比较了心脏骤停期间能量输送的标准技术和“手动增压”技术，后者是一种新技术，可以改善心脏的能量输送，并更快地恢复正常节律。底物-VA研究着眼于对不明原因的VAS进行有创性心脏标测的作用，以确定可以作为治疗目标的细微异常。

This grant focuses on improving outcomes in patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). The AUGMENT-VA trial compares standard techniques for energy delivery during cardiac arrest with ‘manual pressure augmentation’, a novel technique which may improve energy delivery to the heart & restore normal rhythm sooner. The SUBSTRATE-VA study looks at the role of invasive mapping of the heart for unexplained VAs to identify subtle abnormalities that could be targeted for treatment.
