Filter by:The study aims to investigate the short-term (3 months) and intermediate-term (12 months) safety and preliminary efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy for pulmonary vein isolation to treat refractory atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze electroanatomical data collected during persistent atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, combined with pre-ablation cardiac CT data, in order to: - define a new method for quantifying left atrial voltage in atrial fibrillation via a total energy map instead of a peak-to-peak amplitude map - confirm the association between epicardial fat localization and atrial conduction slowing
The unCOVer-AF prospective, multicenter registry aims at determining the natural history of atrial fibrillation (AF) via continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring in patients with a first arrhythmic episode during COVID-19 hospitalization.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and performance of the Omega™ LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) Occluder and Omega™ Delivery System in LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) closure for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and high bleeding risk.
Patients with heart failure (HF) represent a large population of patients who are at high risk for complications related to undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). However, currently there are limited modalities for early AF detection and subsequent stroke prevention in this high-risk population. An implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) is inserted subcutaneously and can provide long term arrhythmia information via remote monitoring. The ASSERT-AF study seeks to accurately define the burden of AF and other arrhythmias in high-risk HF patients using an ASSERT ICM.
The investigators hypothesize that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrosis development. The investigators aim to prove the presence and progression of atrial fibrosis on Delayed Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) in OSA patients without atrial fibrillation (AF). The investigators will also investigate the correlation between OSA metrics (nocturnal oxygen saturation and Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)) and degree of fibrosis at baseline and its progression.
Prospective, non-interventional, multi-center, international registry in two phases in consecutive patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The DefiPace registry is designed in two phases 1. to document the standard of care in 50 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) 2. to assess the treatment and outcomes of patients with post-operative atrial fibrilllation using low-energy cardioversion and subsequent bi-atrial pacing in clinical practice in 100 patients
The aim of the present prospective, randomized single-centre study is to examine the success rate, safety, overall preoperative and operative burden and long-time outcome of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure procedures after unimodal and multimodal preprocedural imaging. According to the investigators' primary hypothesis, simple, unimodal preprocedural imaging does not increase procedural burden of LAAC (total radiation dose, procedure time, fluoroscopy time, contrast amount). The investigators assume, that the success rate and safety of LAAC procedures is not reduced using unimodal preoperative imaging. Regarding to postoperative imaging, the investigators aim to compare the sensitivity of different imaging techniques in detecting postoperative complications. We assume, that multimodal imaging technique increases the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection of postoperative complications (PDL, device thrombi).
The APPENDAGE study is a phase 4 multicentre randomized opened clinical trial comparing 2 different antithrombotic strategies following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aspirin versus Aspirin + Clopidogrel after LAAC by comparing the occurrence of ischemic lesions on cerebrovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.
Atrial fibrillation is a rare cardiac arrhythmia in young (i.e. <= 35-year-old) patients. Etiological factors, current management and mid- to long-term outcomes remain unknown.
