Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of high density voltage and fractionation map guided ablation compared to anatomy-based circumferential pulmonary vein Isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the improved ablation and procedure times of the HeartLight X3 compared to the original HeartLight catheter in the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation.
The prognostic implication of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients from China is still unclear. We aim to investigate the impact of LAAO procedure on subsequent clinical outcomes in patients from China.
The prevention of atrial fibrillation related thromboembolism in the dialysis population is unclear. While the practice of anticoagulation appears favorable in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease, no patients with severe chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <25 ml/min), and specifically those receiving dialysis, have been included in randomized trials.Moreover, the effect of anticoagulation in the dialysis population may fundamentally differ from those studied in clinical trials. Accordingly, characterization of the optimal management strategy to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving dialysis is a priority. The overall goal of this pilot trial is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial comparing anticoagulation strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving dialysis (either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis).
Health inequality and genetic disparity are a significant issue in the United Kingdom (UK). This study focuses on diseases that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the UK, and specifically examines the extent and basis of treatment failure in different patient populations. The vast majority of drug registration clinical trials have under-representation of ethnic minority populations. In addition, the wider Caucasian populations have reasonably different clinical characteristics to the population that participated in the drug licencing clinical trials. A consequence of this is that drugs are licensed for use in real-world general patient populations where the clinical trial results are simply not statistically significant to specifically demonstrate efficacy or safety in populations that were either absent or under-represented in the drug registration clinical trials. When these facts are considered alongside data that supports significant under-reporting of adverse events in the real-world setting within the UK (and globally, e.g the USA and Europe), it highlights that pharmacovigilance systems are unable to capture drug effectiveness and safety data in a manner that can reasonably assure appropriate prescribing in the wider patient populations. This large real-world research study aims to identify whether commonly prescribed drugs are effective in treating illnesses that cause significant poor health and death in the different patient populations that represent the UK. The goal of this study is to generate large quantitative data-sets that may inform clinical practice to reduce the existing health inequality and genetic disparity in the UK.
Ivabradine may be useful as a rate controlling agent in atrial fibrillation without negative effects on hemodynamics and inotropy. The objective in this proof of concept study is to investigate the hypothesis that ivabradine will slow the ventricular response in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and previously-implanted pacemakers.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate treatment of new onset atrial fibrillation in french ICU.
Anticoagulants are used to prevent thrombotic events in patients with predisposing factors. However, the use of such therapies is associated with bleeding complications, which can be a serious safety issue. Thus, it is important to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of such therapies based on data collected in clinical practice in order to generate relevant scientific data that could be used to support clinical and regulatory decisions. This is an open, prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study that aims to prospectively record the clinical history of adult patients receiving anticoagulant treatment, irrespectively of the prescribed drug and the indication for its use.
The purpose is to demonstrate the usefulness of WitCard and WitDisplayer in the diagnosis of AF but more generally in the qualification of the heart rhythm and the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. The main objective is therefore to demonstrate that at least 90 +/- 0.03% of ECGWs are interpretable by a physician and the primary endpoint will therefore be the ratio of the number of ECGWs that allowed a physician to make a diagnosis. rhythmic (ECGW interpretable) and the total number of ECGW recorded and viewed. The clinical trial as part of the CE medical device certification process for secondary objectives and ancillary studies will be required to assess the diagnostic performance of the WitCard + WitDisplayer system, the quality of the ECGW recorded by the WitCard, the the safety of using the WitCard, the technical performance of the WitCard ECG recorder, the ergonomics of the WitCard, and finally the performance of automatic cardiac rhythm classification algorithms.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of abbreviated 3-day anticoagulation with dabigatran etexilate before cardioversion guided by trans-oesophageal echocardiography in comparison with conventional 3- week course of dabigatran etexilate before cardioversion
