Resolution of Left Atrial-Appendage Thrombus - Effects of Dabigatran in Patients With AF

Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial FlutterThrombosis of Left Atrial Appendage

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether Dabigatran leads to a faster complete left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus resolution as compared to Phenprocoumon. The secondary objectives of this trial are to assess the impact of Dabigatran versus Phenprocoumon on complete LAA thrombus resolution rate until week 6 and change in LAA thrombus volume under treatment as well as to assess and compare safety and tolerability of both drugs. A total of 110 patients with atrial fibrillation and LAA thrombus will be randomized to receive either Dabigatran (150 mg bid) or Phenprocoumon (INR 2-3) for a least three weeks. Thrombus resolution will be determined by transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) 3 weeks after start of study treatment and subsequently at week 4 and 6 if necessary, i.e. LAA thrombus has not yet resolved. The study is terminated for each patient with the resolution of the LAA thrombus. For those patients whose thrombus still exists after 6 weeks treatment, the study is also terminated. Further treatments will be decided at the discretion of the treating physician.

Catheter Ablation as the First Line Therapy for Typical Atrial Flutter

Atrial Flutter

Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter is a well established technique with a high acute success rate and very low complication and recurrence rates. It has also been shown that ablation of recurrent symptomatic typical atrial flutter led to a clear improvement in quality of life. We sought to evaluate the cost/effectiveness of catheter ablation as the first line therapy in patient suffering from their first symptomatic typical atrial flutter episode. This study is a multicenter trial in which patients with a first symptomatic episode of typical atrial flutter are randomized to undergo ablation or to receive antiarrhythmic drugs after electrical cardioversion. Clinical examination, quality of life questionnaires,12 leads ECG and 24-hour Holter monitoring are performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months following randomization.The primary end-point is the absence of recurrence of typical atrial flutter at - and 12 months of follow up. The secondary end points are the cost and the cost/effectiveness ratio of these two approaches.

Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation by Inhibition Conversion Enzyme (ICE) After Radiofrequency Ablation...

Atrial FibrillationAtrial Flutter

Atrial Flutter [AFL] is a relatively frequent arrhythmia, considered as benign, but associated with both invalidating symptoms and thromboembolic risk. The objective of the treatment consists to on the one hand the sinus rhythm [SR] restoration and on the other hand the prevention of the long-term recurrence. In this clinical setting, AFL radiofrequency ablation [RFA] became the first line therapy due to its both high effectiveness and safety. The effectiveness of AFL RFA is attenuated by the subsequent risk of atrial fibrillation [AFib] close to 25% at 1 year. This risk of subsequent AFib is related to the common substrate between both arrhythmias. When AFib occurs, the interest to maintain the SR is still required, even if recent studies did not show a significant difference in term of total mortality between rate or rhythm control strategies [AFFIRM, RACE and PIAF studies]. The studies published underlined the anti-arrhythmic drugs limits in patients with both arrhythmias [AFib and AFL]. After years centered on the mechanisms and the electric treatments of AFib, researchers are nowadays focusing on the study's evaluation of the atrial tissue substrate. Accordingly, the renin-angiotensin system role was investigated in many works. Indeed, angiotensin II plays a role in the modification of atrial pressure and in the fibers stretching ["stretch"], conditions required for the development of AFib. Angiotensin II is also a factor implied in the tissue fibrosis leading to tissue proliferation and collagen alteration. These mechanisms lead to atria cells conduction disorders and refractory periods modification. Moreover, the enzyme of conversion expression and the angiotensin II receptors deterioration were observed in patients with AFib. This brings to the concept of AFib treatment while interfering on tissue remodeling by the way of renin-angiotensin system. Drugs such as the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition [ACEI] may reduce AFib in patients with heart failure. No randomized study so far has compared the ACEI drugs against placebo among high-risk patients of AFib in post AFL RFA area. On the basis of experimental and clinical study, the investigators seek to evaluate the ACEI use in the prevention of AFib in an AFL post RFA ablation.

Comparison of Oxygen Interventions and Defibrillator Efficiency

Atrial FibrillationAtrial Flutter

Background: Cardiac arrhythmias can be terminated by electrical current applied by an external defibrillator. This treatment, named cardioversion, has been used for decades in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Several kinds of defibrillators exist, though the relative efficacy and safety of these defibrillators is not clear. During cardioversion, oxygen is being administered, and it has been a long-held belief that oxygen is always beneficial for the patient. This is now being challenged by recent studies suggesting excessive oxygenation to be potentially dangerous for the patients. Objective: To compare the efficiency and safety of two different defibrillators To investigate the effects of excessive oxygen on injury of the heart following cardioversion. Experimental design: Patients will be recruited at the outpatient clinic at the Department of Cardiology, Regional Hospital of Randers, Denmark as a part of the pre-cardioversion check. Patients will be randomized to cardioversion using one of two defibrillators and randomized to treatment with room air or 100% oxygen. The cardiac condition will be measured by blood samples before cardioversion, 4 hours after cardioversion and 3 months after cardioversion. Heart rhythm will be measured by ECG before cardioversion, 1 minute-, 30 minutes- and 4 hours after cardioversion.

The study will be a single center study conducted at the Leipzig University Hospital Heart Center in Germany. The study population will consist of adult patients requiring ablation for type I atrial flutter. This is the follow-up study to NCT02699034.
