Atrial Fibrillation Screening Post Ischemic Cerebrovascular Events
Stroke is one of the leading causes behind death and permanent disability in adults. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia and its prevalence is steeply increasing with age. Atrial fibrillation is associated with a manifold increase in the risk for stroke. It is considered important to investigate …
Prolonged Chest Tube Treatment to Reduce Rates of Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardiac Surgery
Evacuation of pericardial blood by posterior pericardiotomy or use of a posterior pericardial chest tube lowers postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) rates after cardiac surgery by 45-68%. Although it cannot be generalized due to trial undersizing, posterior pericardial chest tube treatment may be a superior alternative to pericardiotomy, given its low …
Effectiveness of Artificial IntelliGence-Driven Single-LEad Long-TerM Electrocardiograms MonItoring in Detecting New-Diagnosed Atrial FIbrillation
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia associated with a significantly increased risk of stroke and heart failure. Early detection and appropriate anticoagulation therapy are critical for reducing the risk of stroke in AF patients. However, traditional screening methods, such as pulse palpation and 12-lead ECG, often fail to …
Impact of Education Level on Clinical Outcomes in Self-INR Managed Patients
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is indicated in a wide variety of clinical conditions including atrial fibrillation (AF), mechanical valve prosthesis (MVP), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Although direct OAC has replaced vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in non-valvular AF due to lower bleeding risk, it's still recommended to use VKA specifically …
Using Cryoballoon Ablation as Initial Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
This study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of using cryoballoon ablation comparing with anti-arrhythmic drug therapy as initial treatment for naive patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.
SUbstrate Ablation in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation for Elimination of Recurrences (SUPAFER).
Antecedents: electrical isolation of pulmonary veins is the standard treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation. However, its efficacy is lower in persistent and chronic forms of this arrhythmia compared to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Many complementary techniques have been proposed, that added to pulmonary veins isolation, may reduce the recurrence rate …
Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Women Older Than 70 Years
Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Women (SAFE-W) is a pilot study evaluating the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (Afib) in a rapidly aging segment of the population. Studies have shown that women with Afib are more likely to be symptomatic, have increased mortality from stroke resulting from Afib, and are …
MAGNAM Trial, Magnesium Versus Amiodarone in Atrial Fibrillation in Critical Care
A multi-centre, non-blinded, comparative effectiveness, randomised controlled trial. Patients will be prospectively enrolled from Critical Care Units and will be assessed for study enrollment based on inclusion/exclusion criteria at the time of the onset of fast atrial fibrillation (AF)(irregular and often rapid heart rate). The authors hypothesize that high dose …
Population Pharmacokinetics of Edoxaban in Chinese Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Based on the population pharmacokinetic data of Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation, the study will evaluate the suitability of the ENGAGE Population Pharmacokinetics model of edoxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation in China, and build a predictive dose model of edoxaban that meets the characteristics of Chinese people. It can …
Watchman for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (WATCH-TMVR)
WATCH-TMVR (Watchman for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Mitral Valve) Clinical Trial have the main objective to assess the feasibility of combining clinically indicated MitraClip TMVR and Watchman LAAO in one setting.Mayo Clinic will be the data coordinating center for this trial, which will include up to 3 sites.
