Filter by:This study evaluates the antithrombotic therapy in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation after stent implantation in Germany. Patients prescribed with the novel oral anticoagulant Rivaroxaban will be followed up over 14 months for their adherence to the medication schedule and for complications that occurred after index PCI.
Retrospective data collection on re-ablations performed within the FIRE AND ICE Trial.
To assess the prevalence of all (prevalent and paroxysmal) undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) in a Japanese population with a moderate-to-high risk of stroke
Many people who suffer from irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) which might cause stroke, need to take blood thinners to prevent it. However, people with atrial fibrillation are also at increased risk of acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris (another heart condition marked by a chest pain, comprising so-called acute coronary syndrome for which another type of treatment that prevents blood from clotting (antiplatelet treatment) is indicated. In particularly if such patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention, a procedure aimed to open up diseased blood vessels and hence to treat acute coronary syndrome, this treatment is needed. If a patients takes several anti-clotting blood drugs, the risk of bleeding is high. The number of possible drug combinations and treatment durations is large. This study will help us to understand which anti-clotting drug combinations are prescribed in real life among patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome, how effective and safe they are for patients. The study will look into the data that are already available in several very large Swedish databases which contain information needed for the research.
This study will retrospectively review and compare clinical outcomes between left atrial appendage occlusion with dual antiplatelet therapy versus conventional antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation.
The prevention of perioperative atrial fibrillation (AF) and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) has the potential to reduce mortality, stroke, and hospital stays in patients undergoing major thoracic surgery. Data from cardiac surgery patients suggest that prevention of perioperative atrial fibrillation using an anti-inflammatory agent, such as colchicine, is feasible. The COP-AF trial will assess whether the administration of oral colchicine will reduce the incidence of perioperative atrial fibrillation and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery in patients undergoing major thoracic surgery.
The primary objective of the study is to describe the usage of NOACs in patients with NVAF, in the hospital setting, based on the baseline characteristics at the time of first NOAC initiation.
The purpose of the study is to collect additional information of Xarelto treatment in routine clinical practice. Patients affected by atrial fibrillation and who will get Xarelto as a prophylactic treatment against stroke and systemic embolism (Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation) will be observed.
This is a sigle-center, prospective study to evaluate the role of D-Dimer testing in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving Dabigatran or warfarin anticoagulation therapy.
In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran etexilate, the level of adherence will be measured using a questionnaire, the Danish National Prescription Registry and pillcount and will be related to plasma levels of dabigatran measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and coagulation assays. The aim of the study is to measure the level of adherence and evaluate the usefulness of different coagulation assays to measure adherence in these patients. Furthermore, the aim is to determine the correlation between the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran using different coagulation assays and plasma levels of dabigatran. Most studies so far have been performed in vitro with plasma samples spiked with dabigatran. In this study the present knowledge from results of coagulation assays in dabigatran spiked plasma samples will be compared to the results of coagulation assays using blood samples from real-life patients.
