简要总结
The ECTOPIA trial is a randomized, multicenter, clinical trial to assess elimination of ventricular premature beats (VPB) with catheter ablation versus optimal anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD) treatment with flecainide/verapamil or sotalol.
详细描述
The ECTOPIA trial is a randomized, multicenter, clinical trial to assess elimination of VPB with catheter ablation versus optimal AAD treatment with flecainide/verapamil or sotalol. Due to the use of different AAD (with and without beta-blocking abilities) the investigators will be able to explore the secondary objectives. Finally, this study will assess safety of ablation of non-RVOT VPBs and long-term treatment with two different AAD.

结局指标
主要结局
Successful therapy
时间窗: After 3 months
Number of patients reaching succesfull therapy defined as \>80% reduction of of VPB/VT burden after 3 months
次要结局
- VPB/VT burden(3, 6, 12 months after intervention)
- Change in VPB/VT burden(Before the intervention (baseline) and 3, 6, 12 months after intervention)
- The impact in terms of total Quality of Life(3, 6, 12 months after intervention compared to baseline (before intervention))
- Association between number of VPB/hour and heart rate (HR)/hour during 24-hours Holter- monitoring(At baseline)
- Number of pro-arrhythmic effects, (non)-sustained VT or atrial flutter, in AAD arms with frequent visits and use of 24-hour Holter monitoring(3, 6 and 12 months after intervention)
- QTc prolongation (sotalol) and QRS broadening (flecainide) with requiring frequent checks with standard ECG and/or treadmill test(4-6 weeks after first administration of AAD)
- Complication rate of catheter ablation(Procedure and 3, 6 and 12 months after intervention)
- Extended evaluation of left ventricular function with transthoracic echo (TTE) (including global longitudinal strain rate measurement)(Baseline, 6 and 12 months after intervention)
- Absolute and relative difference in VPB/VT burden (%) from baseline, during treatment with sotalol versus treatment with flecainide/verapamil(3, 6 and 12 months after intervention)
- Divide patients in three groups depending on HR dependency of VPB/VT and compare absolute and relative difference in VPB/VT burden (%) from baseline, during treatment with sotalol versus treatment with flecainide/verapamil(3, 6 and 12 months after intervention)
