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 …
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 …
Effectiveness of Artificial IntelliGence-Driven Single-LEad Long-TerM Electrocardiograms MonItoring in Detecting New-Diagnosed Atrial FIbrillation
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia associated with a significantly increased risk of stroke and heart failure. Early detection and appropriate anticoagulation therapy are critical for reducing the risk of stroke in AF patients. However, traditional screening methods, such as pulse palpation and 12-lead ECG, often fail to …
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 …
SUbstrate Ablation in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation for Elimination of Recurrences (SUPAFER).
Antecedents: electrical isolation of pulmonary veins is the standard treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation. However, its efficacy is lower in persistent and chronic forms of this arrhythmia compared to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Many complementary techniques have been proposed, that added to pulmonary veins isolation, may reduce the recurrence rate …
MAGNAM Trial, Magnesium Versus Amiodarone in Atrial Fibrillation in Critical Care
A multi-centre, non-blinded, comparative effectiveness, randomised controlled trial. Patients will be prospectively enrolled from Critical Care Units and will be assessed for study enrollment based on inclusion/exclusion criteria at the time of the onset of fast atrial fibrillation (AF)(irregular and often rapid heart rate). The authors hypothesize that high dose …
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 …
Watchman for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (WATCH-TMVR)
WATCH-TMVR (Watchman for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Mitral Valve) Clinical Trial have the main objective to assess the feasibility of combining clinically indicated MitraClip TMVR and Watchman LAAO in one setting.Mayo Clinic will be the data coordinating center for this trial, which will include up to 3 sites.
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 …
Medical and Sociological Characterization of the Population of Patients Admitted for a First Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in the Occitanie Ouest Region
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia with a prevalence of 1 to 4% and constitutes a major health problem both on an individual level (impaired quality of life, heart failure, stroke, hospitalization, excess mortality) and collective level (cost, use of resources). Non-medical determinants influence health, particularly its cardiovascular component, …
