Filter by:A prospective, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, performance, and effectiveness of the Affera SpherePVI™ Multi-Ablation System for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a pulsed field ablation system developed and manufactured by Hangzhou Dinova EP Technology Co., Ltd in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Evaluation of the predictive value of serum levels of adipocytokines and primary phase reactant for recurrent atrial fibrillation (RAF) after catheter ablation in 26 patients had persistent and 91 patients had paroxysmal AF. During 12-m follow-up, 41 patients had RAF (35%). Patients had RAF were significantly older, had significantly higher BMI, lower ejection fraction and wider maximal left atrial diameter (LAD). Serum hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, visfatin, and adiponectin levels were significantly higher in patients developed. Elevated serum levels of TNF-α, visfatin and adiponectin are a significant positive predictors for RAF.
The Pulsed Field Ablation System Study for Atrial Fibrillation (PFA-AF)
This study aims to guide participants in recognizing their OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and AFib (atrial fibrillation) symptoms, realizing what medical conditions can cause these symptoms (if any) and inform the participants on their possible diagnosis
This is a global retrospective and prospective, multicenter, observational patient registry to record outcomes from patients undergoing ablations for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
One-stop procedure combining catheter ablation (CA) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been a feasible treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of stroke and/or bleeding. Although it could achieve considerable rhythm control and stroke prophylaxis, a number of patients has experienced progressive heart failure after the procedure. Notably, previous studies indicate that both pulmonary vein isolation by CA and LAAC could significantly increase left atrial pressure, while currently no study has investigated left atrial pressure change in patients underwent combined procedure. The investigators hypothesise that combined procedure would significantly increase left atrial pressure and subsequently deteriorate cardiac function. Therefore, the investigators aim to measure the left and right atrial pressure change before and after CA and LAAC in combined procedure, and investigate the influence of the pressure change on clinical outcomes.
Today, 50 % of cardiac patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation due difficulties in navigating and accessing rehabilitation activities. HeRTA is a partnership project involving Center for Clinical Research and Prevention (CCRP), Hvidovre Hospital, Rehabilitation Center Albertslund and Copenhagen (municipalities), the Danish Heart Association, and local sports associations. A patient advisory board participate throughout the project to ensure a continued focus on patient interests. The overall aim of HeRTA is to develop and test the feasibility of a new, sustainable model for rehabilitation supporting patients to take part in rehabilitation and promoting life-long activity for all patients with heart disease. To ensure equal access to rehabilitation some activities are open to all patients, while others are tailored specifically to patients with vulnerability. The project unfolds in three phases: Development (1. January 1. 2020 - 14. November 2021): Partners and patients co-create content and procedures; Feasibility (15. November 2021 - 31. July 2023): The feasibility of the model is tested, and promising components are identified; Long-term follow-up and implementation (1. August 2023 - 31. December 2025): Long term effects are investigated and promising components are tested in new settings. During the feasibility phase the investigators will examine whether the intervention activities are feasible, acceptable, and may have positive effects for patients with heart disease. The investigators use qualitative data on implementation and acceptability of intervention among partners and patients. An randomisered controlled trial (RCT) component will assess effects on patient participation rates, health, physical activity level, and life quality. Data is collected from practitioners and patients through focus groups, observations, field notes, questionnaires, and interviews. Results will point to: - innovative ways to organize integrated rehabilitation pathways. - approaches to ensuring rehabilitation targeted at patient needs.
MindMics earbuds is a new technology designed enhance an individual's quality of life by continuously monitoring the heart rate, stress, and blood pressure allowing patients to make decisions regarding their health. MindMics has a working prototype of the ear buds which will perform all the conventional tasks of earbuds (listen to music, etc.), but, in addition, will measure heart rate, stress, blood pressure. The earbuds capture the sounds made by the various cardiac structures pulsing and moving blood. The sound is caused by the acceleration and deceleration of blood and the turbulence developed during rapid blood flow.
CARTO represent a new way of 3D electroanaromic mapping for AF which has improved safety and success rate of AF ablation compared with other conventional methods of AF ablation as it provide accurate visualization of atrial anatomy and identification of atrial substrate properties for catheter ablation of atrial arrythmias which ensure good ablation with decreased incidence of recurrence of AF.
