A Study of Milvexian Versus Apixaban in Participants With Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if milvexian is at least as effective as apixaban for reducing the risk of the composite stroke and non-central nervous system (CNS) systemic embolism.
The Rhythm Evaluation for AntiCoagulaTion With Continuous Monitoring of Atrial Fibrillation
REACT-AF is a multicenter prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE design), controlled trial comparing the current Standard Of Care (SOC) of continuous Direct Oral Anticoagulation (DOAC) use versus time-delimited (1 month) DOAC guided by an AF-sensing Smart Watch (AFSW) in participants with a history of paroxysmal or persistent Atrial Fibrillation …
Anticoagulation for New-Onset Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation After CABG
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (prevention of thromboembolic events) and safety (major bleeding) of adding oral anticoagulation (OAC) to background antiplatelet therapy in patients who develop new-onset post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. All patients with a qualifying …
Anteroposterior Versus Anterolateral Electrode Position for Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) worldwide. Nearly 40 million people are affected by atrial fibrillation worldwide, and this number is expected to increase by over 50% by 2050. Atrial fibrillation can cause strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, poor quality of life and even death. Almost …
COmparison of Bleeding Risk Between Rivaroxaban and Apixaban in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) affects 200,000 Canadians and increases risk of stroke, morbidity and mortality. Having a stroke can affect a patient's ability to speak, eat, walk, work, care for themselves, and interact with others. Not only can it ruin one's life, but it can also be fatal. A stroke occurs …
Can Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Safely Discontinue Anticoagulant Therapy After Cardiac Surgery? (ATLAAC)
Left atrial appendage (LAA) closure has become a frequent addition to oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation who undergo cardiac surgery. The procedure significantly reduces the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, which may render anticoagulation unnecessary or even harmful when considering the associated increased risk of bleeding. A …
Coronary Computed Tomography AngioGraphy Prior to Catheter Ablation in Patients With Atrial FIBrillation
The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial is to investigate whether coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography prior to catheter ablation and derived treatment (medical anti-ischemic and multimodality treatment and/or mechanical revascularization) can improve clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation. A sub-study will investigate the effect of …
Monotherapy With P2Y12 Inhibitors in Patients With Atrial fIbrillation Undergoing Supraflex Stent Implantation
Patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation require treatment with different antithrombotic drugs. Oral anticoagulants are prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation. Antiplatelet substances are prescribed after stent implantation to reduce the risk of adverse cardiac events such as myocardial infarction …
Cryoballoon Ablation Versus Medical Therapy in Patients With Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation
Rationale Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) can cause each other and sustain each other. Combined, the two diseases negatively influence each other's prognosis and lead to higher mortality. Studies in HF patients in which the AF burden is reduced by AF ablation show promising results toward improved prognosis, …
Clinical Implication of Atrial Fibrillation Detection Using Wearable Device in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke
It is known that atrial fibrillation after stroke significantly increases the risk of stroke or systemic embolism. Accordingly, efforts have been made to detect hidden atrial fibrillation and apply treatment using anticoagulants instead of antiplatelet agents. The conventional method used to screen for atrial fibrillation in stroke patients who did …
