Filter by:Acalabrutinib and Zanabrutinib are highly effective drugs used to treat Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, but they are associated with high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms. SENTINEL is an observational study that will use wearable technology to monitor heart rhythm and blood pressures at home to better understand how frequently patients are experiencing high blood pressure and/or abnormal heart rhythms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate two treatment strategies in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and heart failure, who are eligible for atrial fibrillation ablation. Patients will be randomized to either atrial fibrillation ablation or to implantation of a pacemaker with conduction system pacing followed by atrioventricular node ablation. The effect of treatment allocation on total mortality, cardiovascular hospitalization and heart failure hospitalization will be compared.
To determine whether an integrated AI decision support can save time and improve the accuracy of detection of intracardiac thrombus, the investigators are conducting a blinded, randomized controlled study of AI-guided detection of intracardiac thrombus to electrophysiologist judgment in preliminary readings of echocardiograms.
Introduction: There is evidence that aldosterone and the activation of its receptor, mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), promote cardiac fibrosis and electrical disturbances. clinical data suggest that MRAs could have positive effects on AF burden, but some inconsistent results have been reported. Therefore, investigators propose to perform a randomized, multicenter, open blinded end-point (PROBE) study to evaluate the efficacy of spironolactone on AF recurrence in hypertensive patients with preserved LVEF. Materials and methods: SPONSoR trial will be a multicenter, landmark, randomized, open blinded end-point (PROBE) trial of the MRA, spironolactone, in 580 hypertensive patients referred for AF with preserved LVEF. 580 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive oral spironolactone once daily on top of standard therapy or standard therapy alone, started the day of randomization and continued for 12 months. Spironolactone will be start at 25 mg per day initially then titrated to a maximum of 50 mg per day in the absence of contraindication at the 1-month study visit. AF detection will be provided by the use of a wearable optical photoplethysmography (PPG) device (ScanWatch 42mm®, Withings) throughout the duration of the study. These wearables optical PPG devices (ScanWatch 42mm®, Withings). The trial duration is 3 years (24 months for inclusion with 12 months of follow-up; total duration participation for the patient of 12 months).
This is a prospective and observational study. The investigator speculated that the use of DC in patients with paroxysmal AF can serve as a predictor for early and late AF recurrence following CPVI.
The goal of clinical trial is to compare AF ablation to pharmacological rhythm management (being rate or rhythm control) in AF patients with signs of atrial cardiomyopathy (as defined by left atrial volume index >34 ml/m2) The main objective it aims to answer is to determine whether AF ablation compared to pharmacological rhythm management in ACMP patients with AF reduces the incidence of the composite primary endpoint of CV death and first CV hospitalization/urgent visit.
Single center, retrospective review study comparing Figure of Eight suture to LockeT, enrolling approximately 70 patients.
Various methods exist for performing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), including thermal ablation and pulse-field ablation (PFA). However, in cases requiring a second PVI for recurrent AF, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is utilized in nearly 95% of instances post-acquiring a 3D high-density map from the left atrium (LA). Up to 85% of patients experiencing recurrent AF after the initial PVI exhibit pulmonary vein (PV) reconnections, often identified as the cause of AF. PFA has demonstrated its safety and efficiency compared to RFA as a swift technique for performing ablation. Yet, whether PFA or RFA stands out as superior or safer when applied for a second PVI remains unclear, as no randomized controlled trial has investigated this comparison. The proposed REPEAT-AF trial aims to randomize 154 AF patients experiencing recurrent AF after the initial PVI, assigning them in a 1:1 ratio to either RFA or PFA. Each patient will receive an implantable cardiac monitor to precisely detect any AF recurrences.
The aim of the project is to assess hemolysis and renal function after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation using pulsed-field energy. Hemolysis will be determined using the concentration of red blood cell microparticles at the end of the ablation (when all ablation were done, before sheath removal). Hemoglobinuria will be assessed one day after the procedure. Renal functions will be assessed one and three day after the procedure using standard parameters (creatinine, urea). The goal is to assses the acute worsening fo renal functions after pulsed-field ablation in relation to the number of PF applications, and to the degree of immediate post-procedural hemolysis.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amplatzer Amulet LAA occluder in a Chinese patient population indicated for use of this device.
