Active clinical trials for "Atrial Fibrillation"

This study was aimed at patients with newly diagnosed stroke / TIA associated with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. We will observe the effect of early using rivaroxaban anticoagulation on hemorrhagic transformation, and explore the predictive value of multi-mode MRI infarct volume / MMP-9 on hemorrhagic transformation after anticoagulation therapy.

This study will assess the safety and performance of the Vine™ Embolic Protection System (embolic filtering device) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients on top of oral anticoagulants (OAC), and remain at high risk for stroke recurrence. All patients will receive bilateral implants in the common carotid arteries

This study will look at performing a prophylactic limited left sided maze procedure during concomitant adult cardiac surgery to prevent the common occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

This is a phase 4 cohort prospective, open, national, multicentre study that collects data on history of patients treated chronically with anticoagulant drugs, including the novel direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). The Registry is designed solely for observational purposes and is not intended to have any influence on the treatment of the single patients included. Patients are included when they start the anticoagulant treatment, whatever the drug used, or when they shift from a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) drug to one of the novel direct oral anticoagulants, provided that the therapy is expected to last at least 3 months. The general aims of the study are to provide a better evaluation of efficacy and safety of different treatment options, and to improve our understanding of the risks/benefits of the various anticoagulant drugs and the different therapy options. The Registry is open to the participation of clinical centres or individual professionals (now called Participants) that are involved with management of anticoagulated patients.

A cluster randomised study in the primary care setting to evaluate a electronic clinical decision tool for stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation.

This registry is designed to observe the safety and effectiveness of WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure technology in a Chinese population.

CASE AF aims to describe the reality of medical care of patients in whom atrial fibrillation is treated by cardiac surgical ablation.

The purpose of the Confirm Rx SMART Registry is to collect real world data to assess the safety and performance of the Confirm Rx Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) and system over a 12 month period. A sub-set of subjects enrolled in the Confirm Rx SMART Registry will meet the Post Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) requirement for CE mark.

Single arm, prospective unblinded study on post Watchman LAA closure device implant anti-coagulation management at a primary center (Vanderbilt Medical Center) and up to 5 additional high volume LAA implant centers. This trial will be designed to evaluate the use of dabigatran for 90 days post implantation of an LAA closure device (Watchman LAA Closure Device, Boston Scientific Inc.) to prevent device related thrombus.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. This arrhythmia is responsible for 15% of strokes and more than 30% of strokes on people over 65 years. According to studies, 30 to 40% of isolated atrial fibrillations could be familial. Atrial fibrillation has significant genetic heterogeneity. About 40 genes have been identified as potentially involved. Studies have identified genes common to the risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Despite the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation has been intensively and extensively studied for almost a century, there are still many questions. The pathophysiology is not sufficiently understood to allow finding more effective therapies. It is necessary to identify genetic determinants and thus potentially new pharmacological targets more adapted. The establishment of a biological database will test hypotheses concerning the genetic origin and thromboembolic process of atrial fibrillation and associated stroke.
