Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to describe the use of Edoxaban via PEG in patients with an indication to anticoagulation therapy. One arm will receive Edoxaban through PEG and the other arm will receive other Direct oral anticoagulants through PEG or subcutaneous heparin or LMWH. Once enrolled, patients will be treated with a single daily dose of Edoxaban (60 or 30 mg according to specific indications). At day 4 after enrollment (steady state), evaluation of anti-FXa activity and thrombin generation assay will be performed on peripheral whole blood samples. At months 6 and 12 patients will be asked to complete the ACTS (Anti-Clot treatment scale) questionnaire specific for anticoagulation. The main endpoint will be: the difference in the results of the Anti-Clot treatment scale questionnaire between the two groups evaluated at 12 months.
In this study, the researchers explored a new approach to manage atrial fibrillation, a disease that affects millions worldwide. The goal was to see if using a simple handheld ECG device for monitoring heart rhythm could help patients avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency department (ED) after undergoing a common procedure known as pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). This procedure is often used to treat AF, but following it patients frequently visit the ED due to concerns about their heart rhythm, which can strain healthcare resources. The researchers proved a group of patients with a 1-lead ECG device , which allowed users to check their heart rhythm at any time. The researchers compared the ED utilization over a year with that of patients who received standard care after PVI. The hope was that by using the 1-lead ECG device, patients could better manage their condition from home and only seek medical help when truly necessary.
Evaluation of accuracy of the FibriCheck Mobile Application on various smartphone devices, compared to the reference diagnosis.
This study is an open-label Phase Ib clinical study with the primary objective of evaluating the safety and tolerability of multiple subcutaneous injections of SHR-2004 injection in patients with atrial fibrillation, and the secondary objective is to evaluate its pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and immunogenicity characteristics.
Pulsed-field catheter ablation is a promising new treatment method for patients with atrial fibrillation. The mechanism of cell damage here is different from that of classic catheter ablation, in which the ganglion plexuses around the pulmonary veins are also damaged and thus changes in the autonomic nervous system occur. The aim of the work is to find out, using heart rate variability, whether the autonomic system is less affected during pulsed field ablation than in classic radiofrequency ablation.
INTRODUCTION: The study focuses on comparing the effectiveness of oral Bisoprolol, a beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, against intravenous Diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, in treating rapid atrial fibrillation or flutter with rapid ventricular response in an emergency setting. This research aims to fill the gap in empirical evidence regarding the use of oral Bisoprolol for these conditions, potentially offering a convenient, evidence-based alternative for patient management in emergency departments where established protocols are lacking. METHOD: This study is a randomized controlled trial targeting patients who present to the emergency room with symptomatic atrial fibrillation or flutter and rapid ventricular response requiring intervention. Participants will be split into two groups and undergo continuous monitoring of vital signs and regular electrocardiograms to ensure safety and document any adverse effects. The primary focus is on patient safety while evaluating the efficacy of the treatments. AIM: Evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral bisoprolol in treating atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response in an emergency department setting. PRIMARY OJECTIVES: The primary efficacy outcome will be evaluated by achieving a HR<110 beats per minute or a decrease ≥20% of baseline HR at 60 minutes. The primary safety outcome measures are HR < 60 bpm and SBP < 95 mm Hg. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: The use of Rescue medication, proportion of patients who required hospitalization, worsening of heart failure or pulmonary oedema, side effect of medication ( dizziness, headaches, gastrointestinal symptoms) PATEINT POPULATION: Adults (18 and older) presenting to the emergency department at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital with symptomatic atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response requiring treatment. INTERVENTION: A single oral dose of 5 mg Bisoprolol (maximum dose of 5 mg) or a single intravenous dose of Diltiazem at 0.25 mg/kg (to a maximum dose of 30 mg). CLINICAL MEASURMENT: Heart rate recorded every 15 minutes up to the 90-minute mark, with a 12-lead ECG performed every 30 minutes. OUTCOME: For therapy to be considered effective, patients must achieve a ventricular rate ≤110/min or experience a drop-in ventricular rate of at least 20% at 60 minutes.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting more than 3% of the adult population. The symptoms of atrial fibrillation can range from asymptomatic to debilitating. It can be permanent in its nature, but also paroxysmal with only short bursts of atrial fibrillation randomly occurring and can therefore remain unnoticed. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke five fold if left untreated. Screening for atrial fibrillation in elderly populations above age 65 years can result in detection of new atrial fibrillation cases ranging from 0,5% new AF with a single time-point ECG, up to 30% AF if an implantable loop recorder is inserted for 3 years. Currently opportunistic screening using pulse palpation, or a single time-point ECG is recommended by the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Systematic screening in individuals aged 75 or above, or at a high stroke risk should be considered. Overall, participation in systematic atrial fibrillation screening trials has been shown to be relatively low with almost 50% non-participants. Participants are generally healthier, with higher socioeconomic status, hence the ones who would potentially benefit the most remain absent. Opportunistic screening has shown promising results with higher participation rates and the possibility of better outreach. There is a lack of data from randomized trials on the difference in participation rates in systematic and opportunistic screening approaches when screening with prolonged ECG monitoring.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Biosense Webster (BWI) ablation system (THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH surround flow [STSF] catheter and TRUPULSE generator) when used for isolation of the atrial pulmonary veins (PVs) in treatment of participants with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), an irregular heart rate that causing abnormal blood flow.
The main goal of this prospective pre-post implementation study is to investigate how a structured testing and treatment program for obstructive sleep apnea using the NOX T3s device and a Fitbit smartwatch with the FibriCheck algorithm impacts the proportion of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an AF population. Participants will wear the NOX T3s respiratory polygraphy device for one night at home. In case of a positive obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis, patients will be referred to the sleep clinic for a polysomnography examination. Patients positively diagnosed with polygraph will be monitored semi-continuously with the Fitbit smartwatch for three months. After the polysomnography examination, the positively diagnosed patients will be monitored semi-continuously for another three months after initiation of treatment (mostly continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment). Additionally, patients will be administered satisfaction and symptom burden questionnaires twice: right after the polysomnography examination and after the 3-month treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in atrial fibrillation patient with rapid ventricular response. The main question it aims to answer are Effectiveness of Repeated Amiodarone dosing regimen versus standard dosing regimen in Atrial fibrillation patient with rapid ventricular response Participants will receive Amiodarone iv treatment with different regimen - Repeated dosing regimen - Standard dosing regimen
