DOAC in Chinese Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have emerged as safe and efficacious ischemic stroke prophylaxis for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). All four DOACs - apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban - were shown to reduce the risk of major bleeding compared to warfarin. The predictable pharmacokinetic profiles of DOACs also favour their use …
First-time Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Registry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions globally, with projections indicating a doubling of cases by 2050. AF is linked to heightened cardiovascular risks like stroke and increased healthcare costs. Ablation, targeting the arrhythmia substrate, is a method to manage AF, yet recurrence rates remain high (20-45% …
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 …
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 …
Inflammation and Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgery
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, marked by an irregular and rapid heart rate, and associated with increased morbidity, longer hospital stays, and higher costs. Its complex pathophysiology involves atrial remodeling, inflammation, and autonomic dysregulation. Surgical trauma and cardiopulmonary bypass trigger an inflammatory response, releasing …
Atrial Fibrillation in Young Patients: a Prospective Multicentre Registry
Atrial fibrillation is a rare cardiac arrhythmia in young (i.e. <= 35-year-old) patients. Etiological factors, current management and mid- to long-term outcomes remain unknown.
COMParison of Algorithms for Rotational Evaluation in Atrial Fibrillation
This is a cohort study to evaluate algorithms for mapping atrial fibrillation by mapping atrial structure and mapping electrical activity to detect focal and rotational activity.
DELTA (Detecting and Predicting Atrial Fibrillation in Post-Stroke Patients)
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal heart rhythm. Because AF is often asymptomatic, it often remains undiagnosed in the early stages. Anticoagulant therapy greatly reduces the risks of stroke in patients diagnosed with AF. However, diagnosis of AF requires long-term ambulatory monitoring procedures that are burdensome and/or expensive. Smart devices …
Prospective Phenotyping for Genetic Subtypes of Early-onset Atrial Fibrillation
This is a prospective, case-control study that seeks to learn about the role of genetics in early onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and if genetic testing can be used to improve how the investigators treat atrial fibrillation. The study will enroll 225 participants. Eligible participants will have undergone sequencing for arrhythmia …
Study of Atrial Fibrillation Combined with Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation
To evaluate the improvement of mitral regurgitation after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation or regular drug therapy in atrial fibrillation patients combined with atrial functional mitral regurgitation.
