Filter by:This study is a long-term, prospective, and controlled evaluation of the incidence of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with severe intra-right atrial conduction delay paced with preventive algorithms at the interatrial septum (IAS) versus right atrial appendage (RAA).
The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the early and late outcome following left atrial radiofrequency ablation during MV surgery for the treatment of continuous atrial fibrillation and to assess the functional effects of restoration of sinus rhythm.
Double blind study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of SSR149744C and select a dose to be further investigated in the maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical, pharmacological or spontaneous conversion of AF/AFL.
Double blind study to assess versus placebo the efficacy of SSR149744C for the conversion of atrial fibrillation/flutter to sinus rhythm at the time of the planned electrical cardioversion.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether fish oil supplements may reduce the frequency and duration of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes. Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition which effects a large percentage of the population . Atrial fibrillation is a condition frequently experienced by people who have had pacemakers inserted . Certain Pacemakers have sophisticated monitoring features that are able to recognise episodes of atrial fibrillation. Fish oil supplements may be of benefit to patients with heart problems.Recent evidence suggests that fish oils may be beneficial to patients with rhythm disturbances. By interrogating pacemakers this study will investigate the effect of fish oil supplements on the frequency and duration of episodes of atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether fish oils may be of benefit to patients with certain heart rhythm disturbances called atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are two heart conditions that can be successfully treated in the hospital by an ablation (in the case of atrial flutter) or a cardioversion (in the case of atrial fibrillation). Ablation involves the application of high frequency energy waves to a particular spot in the heart. Cardioversion involves resetting the heart back to a normal rhythm with the use of an electric current. Fish oil supplements may be of benefit to patients with heart problems. Recent evidence suggests that fish oils may benefit those with rhythm disturbances.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether fish oil supplements may be beneficial in preventing the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardioversion. Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition which can sometimes be successfully treated by a cardioversion. Cardioversion involves resetting the heart back to normal with the use of electric current. There is a tendency for the atrial fibrillation to recur , days weeks or even months after the cardioversion. Fish oil supplements may be of benefit to patients with heart problems Recent evidence suggests that fish oils may be beneficial to patients with rhythm disturbances.
A multi-center, randomized, controlled study of cryoablation vs medical management for the treatment of PAF
In this multi centre pilot study we will perform TEE in patients with AF who are eligible for VKA treatment. TTE will be used as pre-screening: if TTE shows left atrial abnormalities or aortic plaque, patients will be excluded from randomisation. TEE will be performed in all other patients to detect or exclude complex aorta plaques or signs of left atrial stasis. Three hundred patients who do not have these features on TTE will be randomly assigned to treatment with aspirin or VKA. Follow-up will be 1 year.
A randomized trial to test the hypothesis that short-term pharmacological reversal of electrical remodeling after cardioversion is equally efficient to prevent recurrent atrial fibrillation as standard long-term antiarrhythmic therapy.
