Filter by:This clinical trial will have 2 components: a brief dose-ranging study and a randomized comparison of 2 doses of AdKCNH2-G628S with control cardiac surgery patients. The study will assess safety of the intervention in a population at increased risk for post-operative atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. AF is associated with obesity and the co-morbidities of obesity, including hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which increase left atrial (LA) size and decrease LA function. Semaglutide, a Glucagon-like peptide receptor 1 agonist (GLP-1 RA), is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss for individuals with and without diabetes. The effects of pharmacologic weight loss with Semaglutide on AF are unknown. The investigators plan on conducting a randomized controlled trial of semaglutide versus placebo in individuals with paroxysmal or early persistent AF (>10% AF burden on ambulatory monitoring, a previous electrical cardioversion, or AF lasting ≥ 7 days but < 3 months who have a body mass index ≥ 27.0 kg/m2. The trial will last for 52 weeks. The primary outcome will be the change in AF burden for 2 weeks, immediately before starting the medication or placebo to two weeks starting at week 50, as determined by an implantable loop recorder or two week ambulatory Additional outcomes will be change in epicardial adipose tissue as determined by chest/abdomen/pelvis computed tomography scan at enrollment and at week 52, change in apnea-hypopnea index from baseline sleep study to week 52 sleep study, change in LA longitudinal strain from baseline echocardiogram to echocardiogram at 52 weeks, and change on symptom surveys.
The CLAAS® device will be evaluated for safety and efficacy by establishing its performance is non-inferior to the commercially available WATCHMAN® and Amulet™ left atrial appendage closure devices in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Patients who are eligible for the trial will be randomized to receive either the CLAAS device or the WATCHMAN or Amulet™ devices and will be followed for 5 years after device implant.
To assess the acute efficacy of ablation of the most stable VX1 areas (levels 2 and 3) in terms of the rate of acute AF termination. Identify the spatial distribution of dispersion stability levels based on VX1. Document the rate of adverse events. To assess the long-term efficacy of ablation of the most stable VX1 areas in terms of the absence of documented arrhythmias during a 12-month follow-up.
This is an investigation of a mindfulness and interoceptive exposure intervention in patients with atrial fibrillation, to decrease anxiety sensitivity, symptom burden, and atrial fibrillation recurrence.
Persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and distressing condition, that can cause significant symptoms. AF ablation is a recognised technique to treat persistent AF, but can be technically difficult. This study compares percutaneous ablation to thoracoscopic surgical AF ablation.
The WARFARIN Study is a clinical trial designed to determine if the use of genetic information related to warfarin sensitivity can help create a dose of warfarin that will result in less hospitalizations and deaths related to warfarin.
The study is a national multicenter prospective observational study, including 200 patients. The main purpose of this study is to explore in more detail the influence of genetic variability (CYP enzymes and vitamin K dependent proteins) and dietary vitamin K status on warfarin dosing, clinical effect and adverse events with emphasis on the initial phase of treatment. The hypothesis is that genetic variability concerning CYP enzymes and vitamin K dependent proteins predict dosing and adverse events during warfarin treatment. The main aim is to individualize warfarin therapy and establish a treatment algorithm based on genotype and dietary vitamin K status to make the anticoagulation therapy with warfarin more secure.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the HIFU Pulmonary Vein Ablation System is effective in the treatment of paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation compared to the control of best medical therapy with FDA approved antiarrhythmic drugs.
