Strategy of Crossing Two Ablation Techniques (Cryoballoon and Radiofrequency) After the Recurrence...
Atrial FibrillationRandomized phase III clinical trial to compare the efficacy of the two most widely used ablation techniques (cryotherapy and radiofrequency) after recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients requiring a new ablation procedure.
The Z Stitch Early Bed Rest Assessment Study
Atrial FibrillationAtrial Flutter3 moreThe goal of this study is to understand the effects of early mobilization after a Z stitch procedure in patients undergoing certain heart-related treatments. We want to find out if allowing patients to move around sooner after their procedure can improve their satisfaction and potentially lead to earlier discharge from the hospital. Type of Study: Clinical Trial Participant Population/Health Conditions: Patients aged 18-99 undergoing specific heart procedures such as atrial fibrillation treatment, atrial flutter treatment, supraventricular tachycardia treatment, diagnostic electrophysiology studies, AV node ablation, or Watchman device placement. Main Questions: Does early mobilization (getting up and moving around sooner) after the Z stitch procedure improve patient satisfaction? Participants will be divided into two groups, and researchers will compare those who have one hour of bedrest with those who have four hours of bedrest after the Z stitch procedure. We want to see if the shorter bedrest period leads to higher patient satisfaction.
BEAT AF - Braking Ectopic Atrial Trends In Atrial Fibrillation
Paroxysmal Atrial FibrillationParoxysmal AF subjects with a documented ECG event of AF will be recruited to the study To assess the efficacy of CardiaCare™ RR2 wearable home-care neuromodulation system in reducing AF burden and symptoms in Paroxysmal AF patients
Efficacy of Anterior Wall PVI With QDOT Catheter - Intraprocedural Comparison Between vHPSD and...
Atrial FibrillationThis study is a prospective, randomized controlled study to evaluate intraprocedural efficacy of anterior aspects of pulmonary veins insolation between very High Power Short Duration (vHPSD) and High Power Short Duration (HPSD) in patient with paroxysmal or persistent Atrial Fibrillation.

Atrial FibrillationAtrial Appendage3 moreThe APPENDAGE study is a phase 4 multicentre randomized opened clinical trial comparing 2 different antithrombotic strategies following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aspirin versus Aspirin + Clopidogrel after LAAC by comparing the occurrence of ischemic lesions on cerebrovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.

Non-Valvular Atrial FibrillationThe purpose of the study is to assess the safety and performance of the Omega™ LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) Occluder and Omega™ Delivery System in LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) closure for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and high bleeding risk.
Safety & Clinical Performance Study of Catheter Ablation With the Centauri System for Patients With...
Atrial FibrillationThis study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study following patients to 1 year, to evaluate the safety and performance of the Centauri System for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The study is intended for adult patients (age 18-75 years) who are indicated for a first-time catheter ablation of AF where the pre-procedure treatment plan contemplates pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) or short-duration (<1 year) persistent AF (PeAF).
CPAP in AF Patients With OSA
Atrial FibrillationSleep ApneaObstructive sleep apnea is associated with atrial fibrillation. This study is to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure on the burden of atrial fibrillation in the patients with obstructive sleep apnea and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
RAFF4 Trial: Vernakalant vs. Procainamide for Acute Atrial Fibrillation in the Emergency Department...
Atrial FibrillationThe objective is to compare IV vernakalant to IV procainamide for the ED management of acute AF patients. If vernakalant proves to be more effective, faster, and safer than IV procainamide, this will give clinicians an important alternative for pharmacological cardioversion of acute AF. The investigators propose a pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial entailing an open label, randomized controlled trial at 12 large Canadian EDs. Study subjects will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms: 1) Patients will receive an initial infusion of 3mg/kg of IV vernakalant over 10 minutes, followed by a second dose of 2mg/kg over 10 minutes, if necessary, or 2) Patients will receive a continuous infusion of 15mg/kg of IV procainamide over 60 minutes. The primary aim will be to compare conversion to normal sinus rhythm between the two drugs. The investigators will include stable patients presenting with an episode of acute AF of at least 3 hours duration, where symptoms require urgent management and where immediate cardioversion is a reasonable option. Using the integrated consent model, research assistants will obtain verbal consent from eligible patients.
AnticoaguLation ONE Year After Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation...
Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Moderate or High Stroke Risk Who Had Undergone Catheter Ablation of Atrial FibrillationThere has no evidence for the anticoagulation in patients who had undergone catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, and has maintained sinus rhythm for more than 1 year. However, anticoagulation can increase the risk of bleeding, the study evaluating the role of oral anticoagulation is needed in this patients. This study will compare the efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K anticoagulants (apixaban) and no oral anticoagulation in patient with sinus rhythm one year after catheter ablation of AF.
