Full-Avoidance vs. Permissive/Regulated Drinking & Outcomes On Fibrillation
The goal of this study is to assess the short-term effects of minimal and moderate drinking on atrial fibrillation (AFib) episodes in a real-world population diagnosed with 'come-and-go'/paroxysmal AFib. The question it aims to answer is: Is there a greater occurrence of AFib episodes when participants are allowed to consume …
Electrical Cardioversion As a Predictor in Postoperative Preservation of Sinus Rhythm
The aim of this study is to evaluate benefits of electric cardioversion in the early and long-term postoperative period in patients after radiofrequency catheter isolation of pulmonary veins. Parameters of the left atrium will be evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping. Preservation of the sinus rhythm will be assessed …
AlEX-DHF: Ablation and Exercise in Diastolic Heart Failure
The investigators analyze the impact of exercise and ablation in patients with symptomatic short-persistent atrial fibrillation (Afib) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is hypothesized that the combination of ablation and exercise better improves peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) through improvement of peripheral (exercise training) and central (ablation) …
Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Watchman Device Implant
This study is to look at the success of Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) in the Watchman procedure. Currently the process is to use a Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) to place the Watchman in patients. This study is aiming to show how the ICE is just as effective in placing the device correctly …
The Effect of a Digital MediYoga Program on Quality of Life, Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrythmia, associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, reduced quality of life (QoL), and psychological distress. This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of MediYoga - a program incorporating deep breathing, low-intensity yoga, and meditation- on disease-specific QoL, blood pressure, and …
SmartWatch-driven AF Detection in Stroke Patients
Unrecognized atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of ischemic stroke. Implantable event monitors (ICM) are the gold standard for continuous heart rhythm monitoring but they have been implemented in very few patients after stroke due to high invasiveness and high costs. In this trial, patients with implanted ICMs (Medtronic …
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 …
Comparing Magnesium 2g Versus 4g Versus Placebo in the Incidence of Treating AFF RVR
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of varying doses of intravenous magnesium in the treatment of AFF RVR.
Impact of Atrial Fibrosis Surface Area on the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Ischemic Stroke of Undetermined Origin: a Prospective Cardiac MRI Pilot Study.
Atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia most often originating in the left atrium, causing anarchic electrical activity and thus a loss of atrial contraction. This increases the risk of stroke through clot formation in the atrium, but also of heart failure. Atrial fibrillation is a major cause of stroke, accounting …
Ablate and Pace HIS Study
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and estimates suggest its prevalence is increasing. Despite the advances in AF ablation strategies, the outcome of ablation procedures in persistent AF is still unsatisfactory. In addition, many patients are not candidates for ablation due to advanced age, comorbidities and …
