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 …
Apixaban Safety and Therapy Adherence in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate safety and therapeutic adherence during anticoagulant prophylaxis with apixaban in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the incidence of major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding during anticoagulant prophylaxis with apixaban in …
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 …
A Study Evaluating the Associations Between Clinical Characteristics and Use of Oral Anticoagulants in Italian Elderly Participants With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this study is to provide real-world data useful to address the factors associated to the administration of oral anticoagulants in the elderly population affected by non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), in Italy, and it's persistence rate after one year.
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 …
Intra-abdominal Pressure (IAP) During PFA Treatment of A-fib/ A-Flutter
The purpose of this study is to investigate the intra-abdominal pressure utilizing the Accuryn monitoring system during pulsed field ablation procedures in the electrophysiology lab compared to the type of anesthetic utilized.
AI-Based Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation in ESUS Patients With ICM
This study investigates patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) who have received an Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM). The main purpose is to evaluate the predictive value of an Artificial Intelligence ECG analysis tool, named SmartECG-AF. Participants will be classified into two groups based on the AI analysis: a …
Incidence of Silent Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Clinically Silent Brain Ischemic Lesions
Arterial Fibrillation (AF) is well-recognized as a cause for cryptogenic Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) and is associated with Silent Brain Infarction (SBI). However, the role of AF in the formation of lesions (SBIs) is less well established than its role in AIS and needs clarification. The investigators hypothesize that continuous …
Atrial Fibrillation Detection Using MEMO Patch in Patients With Stroke of Unknown Cause
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a wearable device in detecting previously undiagnosed atrial fibrillation through non-invasive long-term monitoring using a wearable single-lead ECG patch (MEMO Patch M, MEMO Patch2) in 100 patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) who require atrial …
Personalised Ablation Strategies in AF
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with an expected rise in prevalence over the next decade. Catheter ablation is a safe treatment option in eliminating AF however, success rates still remains variable. Existing strategies do not take into account the differences in AF perpetuation mechanisms beyond the pulmonary …
