Filter by:The aim of the study is to develop and validate a novel esophageal mapping system to improve the diagnostics of cardiac arrhythmias. Using a newly designed esophageal ECG catheter, esophageal ECGs (eECGs) will be recorded in 40 patients during an electrophysiological (EP) study and/or ablation procedure and in 12 healthy volunteers. In parallel acquired intracardiac electrograms will serve as reference for the developed mapping systems accuracy. Additionally, the esophageal mapping system will be compared to that of the standard 12-lead surface ECG in regard to its diagnostic performance.
The Apple Heart Study (AHS) is a research study conducted to evaluate whether the Apple Heart Study App can use data collected on the Apple Watch to identify irregular heart rhythms, including those from potentially serious heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation. Up to 500,000 can participate in the study.
The prevention of perioperative atrial fibrillation (AF) and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) has the potential to reduce mortality, stroke, and hospital stays in patients undergoing major thoracic surgery. Data from cardiac surgery patients suggest that prevention of perioperative atrial fibrillation using an anti-inflammatory agent, such as colchicine, is feasible. The COP-AF trial will assess whether the administration of oral colchicine will reduce the incidence of perioperative atrial fibrillation and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery in patients undergoing major thoracic surgery.
This study is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center study to assess clinical performance of the SHERLOCK 3CG™ Diamond Tip Confirmation System (TCS) with MODUS II software for confirming correct tip position of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in adult subjects with altered cardiac rhythm.
The results of this study could imply that a atrial fibrillation registry, as a tool for structured diagnosis and therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation, may improve patient care for this rapidly growing population.
Hypnosis has already shown to decrease pain and anxiety in different surgical specialities. Nevertheless, its input has never been studied in cardiology. This research is a prospective, monocentric, controlled and randomized study. Patients over 18 years old and hospitalized for atrial flutter ablation may be included and randomized into one of the arms: placebo or hypnosis. Global pain will be assessed by a visual analogue pain scale. Anxiety, morphine consumption, and patient sedation will also be assessed. The aim of this study is to improve the care given to patient undergoing atrial flutter ablation.
Abiraterone associated with prednisone is used in prostate cancer. Abiraterone is a selective small-molecule inhibiting cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1), a key enzyme in androgen synthesis. CYP17A inhibition is also responsible for mineral corticosteroid related adverse events as hypokaliemia, fluid retention, and hypertension. Primary hyperaldosteronism is associated with cardiovascular toxicities such as atrial fibrillation and cardiac failure. Other androgen-deprivation therapies are not associated with increased mineral corticosteroid level. This study investigates reports of cardiovascular toxicities for treatment including L02 (sex hormones used in treatment of neoplastic diseases), and G03 (sex hormones) used in prostate cancer in the French pharmacovigilance database and in the EudraCT database.
Patients are screened for significant arrhythmias and other possibly significant ECG-patterns directly after discharge and two weeks after myocardial infarction using wearable devices. The home monitoring data will be linked with extensive data from electronic health records collected before, during hospital stay and after discharge. The purpose of the study is to clarify whether home monitoring of continuous ECG-signals can be used to predict and prevent serious adverse events after myocardial infarction.
Primary research question: For adults surviving spontaneous (non-traumatic) symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage with persistent/paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), does starting full treatment dose oral anticoagulation (OAC) result in a beneficial net reduction of all serious vascular events compared with not starting OAC? Trial design: Investigator-led, multicentre, randomised, open, assessor-masked, parallel group, clinical trial of investigational medicinal product (CTIMP) prescribing strategies. Investigators plan for a pilot phase, followed by a safety phase.
No randomized head-to-head comparison between the individual Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants (NOAC) exists. The DANNOAC-AF study is a nationwide cluster randomized cross-over study comparing efficacy and safety of the four NOACs, edoxaban, apixaban, rivaroxaban and dabigatran for oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter across Danish hospitals and cardiology clinics.
