Treatment Based on High Precision Cardiac Mapping: Advancing Personalized Outcomes Through Optimized Localization
Overview
APOLO-VT aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical impact of an integrated multimodal mapping workflow combining non-invasive structural and functional substrate characterization using Volumetric Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGi) with invasive Electroanatomical Mapping (EAM) to support Ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation targeting and verification.
Interventions
- Device ACORYS Mapping System
ADAS 3D (ADAS 3D Medical, Barcelona; CE 714517) and the ACORYS Mapping System (Corify Care SL, Madrid; CE 775709) are two independently operating, CE-marked devices used within their approved intended use. ADAS 3D processes cardiac magnetic resonance images to characterize myocardial scar, border zone, and conduction corridors. ACORYS performs non-invasive electrocardiographic mapping, importing the ADAS 3D-derived anatomy to contextualize its electrophysiological maps. The structural and functi
Primary outcome measures
- VT recurrence [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Acute procedural outcomes [Time frame: Baseline]
- Procedure complications [Time frame: Baseline]
- Electrophysiological endpoints [Time frame: Baseline]
- Clinical outcomes during follow-up [Time frame: 12 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age ≥18 years.
- Diagnosis of structural heart disease (ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy).
- Documented sustained monomorphic VT (clinical or inducible), or recurrent ICD therapies for VT.
- Scheduled for catheter ablation of VT according to current international guidelines.
- Ability to provide written informed consent.
- Ability to remain upright or seated to allow a video for 3D torso reconstruction for ECGi acquisition.
Exclusion criteria
- Age <18 years.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Inability to provide informed consent due to physical or mental condition.
- Contraindication to computed tomography or cardiac magnetic resonance (magnetic resonance imaging-incompatible devices, claustrophobia).
- Contraindication to contrast agents (gadolinium allergy or severe renal dysfunction with estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m²).
- Inability to remain upright for torso 3D reconstruction required for ECGi.
- Life expectancy <1 year due to non-cardiac comorbidity.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
