Filter by:Recurrent focal electrical activation (or ectopy) superseding sinus activation is the only mechanism proven to drive paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it has not been possible to show similar focal drivers during AF, owing to the limitations of mapping in persistent AF. RETRO-Mapping has been developed as a method to generate activation maps during AF to test the hypothesis that persistent AF is also maintained by focal drivers. RETRO-Mapping is able to locate sites of focal activation that were isolated, intermittent, or recurrent during persistent AF. However, a 30-second segment of AF can have approximately 150 wavefronts in a small area of myocardium. Screening for focal activation and manually validating these prior to ablation was not feasible using current commercial systems. RETRO-Mapping can automatically detect focal activation and a recording system that enables the intracardiac signals to be directly analysed by the RETRO-Mapping software. This will allow RETRO-Mapping to build a detailed classification of focal activation types and study the impact of ablation of these sites on the AF cycle length, to address the hypothesis that persistent AF is maintained by focal drivers.
New Onset Cardiac Arrhythmias in Septic Patients in Critical Care Setting, Predictors and Outcomes
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to establish a comprehensive, structured database that includes photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements with simultaneously recorded electrocardiography (ECG) data to evaluate the FibriCheck Algorithm in patients with heart rhythm disorders.
This study is a multicenter, prospective and randomized controlled study. The experiment includes a 1-week screening period (1 week before dialysis) and a 7-week treatment period (1-4 weeks of dose drip period and 5-7 weeks of evaluation period). During the screening period, all patients were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. On the non-dialysis day of the treatment period, the treatment group was given a certain dose of sodium zirconium silicate, and the blood potassium value was measured before and after each dialysis to maintain the blood potassium at 4.0-5.0mmol/L before dialysis. At the same time, 12-lead ECG and 24-hour Holter were completed at the first and last dialysis during the treatment period, and finally the ECG stability and its relationship with blood potassium were evaluated.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, real-world post-market study to collect and evaluate data regarding the performance of the enhanced atrial fibrillation detection algorithm of the Assert-IQTM Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) device.
Heart rhythm disorders are common and significantly impact the lives of those affected and their families. The main problems can be categorized as: a) atrial fibrillation or AF and atrial flutter, b) supra-ventricular tachycardia or SVT, c) excessively slow heart beats (i.e., bradycardia or pauses) and d) ventricular arrhythmias. These problems can be difficult to detect with currently available monitoring options as they are all worn for shorter terms or are an invasive implantable option. The HeartWatch is a longer term monitoring system that is worn on the upper arm, allows users to create a tag and pairs with an app on a smartphone allowing for correlation of symptoms.
The main aim of the research is to investigate whether patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation with catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) will have lower rates of AF recurrence than those treated by DC cardioversion without an ablation procedure.
During electrophysiological study (EPS) multiple drugs are used to reveal arrhythmias and/or conductive system disorders. Two most often used agents are atropine and isoprenaline. Due to their distinct pharmacological properties, they are affecting myocardium in different manner. Those dissimilarities can affect the EPS course and long-term prognosis. The aim of presented study is to evaluate the optimal protocol of pharmacotherapy during EPS.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases in breast cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT). In addition to regular follow-up of patients by the radiation oncologist for 5 years, cardiovascular screening at the end of follow-up, combining the use of a connected watch and a cardiological check-up, could make it possible to identify precisely the types and frequencies of these sometimes asymptomatic, and probably underestimated, cardiac diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the incidence of AF and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases occurring within 5 years after RT - To evaluate absorbed doses in the heart and cardiac substructures (chambers, conduction nodes, coronaries, pulmonary veins) based on auto-segmentation models developped with deep learning algorithms - To investigate whether the risk of AF and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases is associated with cardiac irradiation characterized by these absorbed doses (dose-response relationship) Participants will be included between 2023 and 2025, 5 years after their RT: - Retrospective data collection will be based on a medical questionnaire designed to identify cardiac pathologies present prior to RT and those having occured in the past, between RT and 5 years post-RT. - Cross-sectional data collection will be based on screening for cardiac pathologies using a connected watch worn for 1 month (silent AF screening) and a cardiology consultation (including ECG and echocardiography) to identify cardiac pathologies at 5 years post-RT possibly not identified in the retrospective data collection.
This study will assess the feasibility of performing pre-hospital resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as an adjunct to conventional Advanced Life Support (ALS) in patients suffering from non-traumatic out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). As well as providing valuable insights into the technical feasibility of performing this procedure as part of a resuscitation attempt, the study will also document the beneficial physiological effects of REBOA in this group of patients.
