Substrate Remodelling and Targeted Ablation in AF
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder, affecting millions worldwide and causing symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue and breathlessness. It also increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, so effective treatment is essential. A treatment for AF involves catheter ablation, a minimally invasive procedure where problematic …
Bi-atrial Versus Left Atrial Ablation for Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Valve Disease and Non-paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
This study is aimed to compare the efficacy of bi-atrial ablation with left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation during mitral valve surgery in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease.
Lenient Rate Control Versus Strict Rate Control for Atrial Fibrillation. The Danish Atrial Fibrillation Randomised Clinical Trial
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhythmia with a prevalence of approximately 2% in the western world. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of death and morbidity. The comparable effects of a lenient rate control strategy and a strict rate control strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation …
Post Intensive Care Unit Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder in the intensive care unit (ICU). It can be precipitated by multiple factors but it is unclear whether AF persists after discharge from the ICU, and long term. This study will investigate whether AF recurs up to one year after ICU …
Augmented Pacing for Shock in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if backup pacing at an increased rate improves hemodynamics in adults with relative bradycardia, a permanent pacemaker, and cardiogenic shock. The main question it aims to answer is: Does increasing the backup pacing rate to 100 beats per minute lead to …
Impact of Sleep Quality on Outcomes After Cardiac Surgery
Sleep is a basic human need and is essential for good quality of life, good health. In fact, humans spend one third of their life time in sleeping or attempting to do so. However, sleep is not given due importance in intensive care unit (ICU)'s, although it is critical in …
Comparison of Supra vs Infra Inguinal Fascia Iliaca Blocks for Spinal Positioning and Analgesia in Lower Limb Surgery
Severe pain associated with thigh and knee fractures makes the positioning for regional anesthesia a challenge. Different modalities to make patient pain free for spinal positioning, post op analgesia and patient satisfaction including supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (S-FIB) and infra-inguinal fascia iliaca blocks (I-FIB) have been studies. The aim of …
Computed Tomogram Myocardial Thickness Map Guided pulmOnary Vein iSolaTion vs. Empirical Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Cryoballoon Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (UTMOST AF II)
New parameters or methods, such as ablation index, have been developed for the quantification of high-frequency energy used in pulmonary vein isolation, but there is no known method for atrial fibrillation considering individual differences in atrial tissue. The atrium is only 1/3 of the thickness of the ventricle and is …
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 …
Clinical Usefulness of Virtual Ablation Guided Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: Virtual Rotor Mapping and Catheter Ablation
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is effective in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In order to reduce the recurrence rate after catheter ablation, the investigators propose to apply 'virtual' ablation on patient-specific atria by simulating 3D atrial computer model. The investigators will conduct virtual rotor mapping in the patient …
