Filter by:The efficacy and safety of edoxaban has not been adequately studied in Asians versus non-Asians, who are quite different physiologically from each other. Compared with non-East Asian patients, the East Asia patients were twice as likely to have the reasons for requiring dose reduction of edoxaban, such as CrCl 30-50 ml/min (30.0% and 18.2%, respectively), weight ≤60 kg (30.6% and 7.8%, respectively), or concomitant use of verapamil or quinidine (P-gp inhibitors, 6.6% and 3.3%, respectively). This study is aimed to evaluate the safety of the low dose edoxaban therapy in patients with high bleeding risk and non-valvular AF in the real world population of Korea.
Study hypothesis : Pre-operative aldosterone receptor blockade may reduce post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurrence within 5 days after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) ± aortic valve replacement (AVR) without any heart failure or any mitral surgery. Primary efficacy criterion : occurrence of POAF occurring from randomization and within 5 days after surgery, assess, in a standardized manner, by continuous ECG monitoring (during the ICU stay) or Holter-ECG monitoring (during the stepdown unit stay). Primary objective: To establish whether pre-operative administration of spironolactone leads to a reduction in POAF incidence occurring from randomization and within 5 days after surgery, compared with placebo, in patients referred for on-pump elective CABG surgery ± AVR without heart failure. Study design : Phase III drug trial - Randomized, double blind, multicentre, prospective study.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Cardioblate iRF and CryoFlex hand held devices for the treatment of non-paroxysmal AF.
To compare of atrial arrhythmia incidence in patients with coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation history, undergoing either coronary artery bypass grafting plus temporary spinal cord stimulation or coronary artery bypass grafting alone
This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of dabigatran ethidium b.i.d.+ clopidogrel + ASA [100 mg q.d. *1 month] and warfarin + clopidogrel + ASA [100 mg, q.d.*1 month] in Chinese NVAF patients undergoing PCI with stenting (elective or due to ACS).
The investigator propose to test the efficacy of adjunctive ET-GP ablation in patients undergoing redo PVI for paroxysmal AF.
Atrial Fibrillation(AF) is one of the most common abnormal heart rhythms and approximately 3% of the general population have AF. The prevalence increases with age of the population and is increased in people with diabetes, hypertension and those who are overweight. AF is a major risk factor for stroke; people with AF are five times more likely to suffer an ischaemic stroke; however this can be reduced significantly with appropriate interventions which depends on detection of the abnormal rhythm. Although the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) currently recommends screening patients with symptoms of AF, including syncope, heart palpitations, and chest discomfort, as well as patients who have suffered a stroke or heart attack, many patients remain symptomless and are not managed for their increased stroke risk. Guidelines for AF screening include manual palpation of a peripheral pulse, followed up by an ECG for patients who have an irregular pulse. Although almost all patients with AF have an irregular pulse, only about 12 in 100 patients with an irregular pulse have AF. Use of an improved screening tool for AF could both cut down the number of people undergoing unnecessary ECGs, and also lead the way for a wider screening programme for AF. The aim of this study is to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of a new ECG like device for the detection of AF, the Plessey imPulse. Participants referred or admitted to secondary care with stroke symptoms and other indicators of increased prevalence of AF will be recruited. Participants will undergo three methods of AF screening, a peripheral pulse, a lead-one like ECG using the imPulse device, and the gold-standard for AF detection, a 12-lead ECG. By comparing to the ECG results specificity and sensitivity will be established for both methods in this population.
The investigators propose a home hospital model of care that substitutes for treatment in an acute care hospital. Limited studies of the home hospital model have demonstrated that a sizeable proportion of acute care can be delivered in the home with equal quality and safety, reduced cost, and improved patient experience.
VITAL is a prospective, single arm, multicenter, interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the VytronUS Ablation System (VAS) for the treatment of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) using low intensity collimated ultrasound (LICU) for imaging and ablation.
Background: The atrial fibrillation cycle length (AFCL) measured by electrophysiologic study is well known parameter for the maintenance of sinus rhythm after DC cardioversion (DCCV) or ablation therapy. The aim of this study was to test whether a AFCL measured by transesophageal echocardiography (AFCLTEE) could predict the outcome after DCCV. Methods: In 100 consecutive patients with non-valvular AF, TEE will be performed within 6 hours before DCCV. The AFCLTEE was measured by averaging 10 sequential peak to peak intervals of atrial fibrillary waves seen in the pulsed wave Doppler image on the left atrial appendage. The primary endpoint was AF free survival rate at 6 months after DCCV.
