Ablation of Focal Activation in Atrial Fibrillation
Recurrent focal electrical activation (or ectopy) superseding sinus activation is the only mechanism proven to drive paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it has not been possible to show similar focal drivers during AF, owing to the limitations of mapping in persistent AF. RETRO-Mapping has been developed as a method to …
Ondansetron for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation
"Afib" is a common irregular heartbeat. Afib can cause stroke, blood clots, dementia and death. Medicines used to treat Afib often do not work well and can cause serious side effects. Clinicians need medicines that work better for Afib. Medicines for Afib work by blocking a current in the heart …
Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated With Catheter Ablation
This is a single-center prospective observational cohort study of atrial fibrillation patients treated with radiofrequency ablation.
Non-invasive Mapping-Guided Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
The goal of this pilot study is to test if noninvasive global mapping can guide catheter ablation defining personalized targets and improve the therapy of atrial fibrillation. It will also test the safety of such an approach. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ablation of targets defined …
Pharmacogenetic Study of Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation
In this pilot and feasibility study, the investigators will enroll patients with frequent symptomatic episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a cross-over study testing two different classes of anti arrhythmic drugs (AADs). This pilot and feasibility study will provide preliminary data for a larger study in which the investigators will …
Diagnosis of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation by a Smartwatch
The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after on-pump cardiac surgery remains high, at around 30%. POAF increases the risk of cardiac decompensation, stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and death, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality, hospital length of stay, and cost of patient management. Episodes of POAF are usually paroxysmal …
Low Voltage-Directed Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
A two-pronged approach to evaluate long term success of non-paroxysmal ablation when using a: specified low voltage-directed with pulmonary vein isolation (LD+PVI) approach compared to , an approach of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone.
Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation Home Monitoring in Hypertensive Patients
Atrial fibrillation is a highly prevalent and incidental arrhythmia, often asymptomatic, and frequently detected incidentally or in association with a stroke. Subclinical atrial fibrillation increases cardioembolic risk, highlighting the need for timely diagnosis. New wireless devices capable of recording heart rhythm, combined with innovative artificial intelligence tools, could be useful …
Prevention Atrial Fibrillation by BOTulinum Toxin Injections (BOTAF)
Over the past few years, research has focused on the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery, but highly effective interventions are still missing. Postoperative AF remains the most common complication after cardiac surgery, with an incidence of 10 to 50%. This complication is usually a transient condition that …
Mechanisms for Atrial Fibrillation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disorder and involves an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death, impaired quality of life and a high proportion of healthcare consumption. An important risk factor is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it is not fully understood why OSA induces AF. It …
