Active clinical trials for "Atrial Fibrillation"

The goal of this research study is to develop a smartphone application capable of monitoring paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) in people who have survived a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) or people who are at risk for a stroke and are age 50 and older. The study team plans to develop a highly effective and easy to use cardiovascular surveillance system to monitor patients for pAF on a nearly continuous basis. People involved in the development of this system include patients, their caregivers, health care providers, and computer programmers.

Title: Efficacy and safety of rivaroxiban compare with vitamin K antagonist warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and mitral stenosis among Pakistani population.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in patients with non-valvular NVAF aged 80 years or older who are ineligible for available oral anticoagulation therapy.

The study cohort will consist of up to 50 patients who are candidates for Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) closure in whom oral anticoagulation is contraindicated. Subjects evaluated for left atrial appendage closure will be screened for inclusion and consented prior to their procedure. If the anatomy is favorable for placement of the Lariat® device, the procedure will be performed at one of the participating centers. If anatomy is not favorable, the patient will be excluded from the study and managed using best care practices by his or her physician.

The objective of this clinical study is to collect additional data on the safety and effectiveness of the EPi- Sense®-AF Guided Coagulation System with VisiTrax® to treat symptomatic persistent or long-standing persistent Atrial Fibrillation (AF) patients who are refractory or intolerant to at least one Class I and/or III AAD.

To determine the diagnostic yield of a 30-day smartphone electrocardiogram recording compared to 24-hour Holter monitor for detecting occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with a recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack of undetermined etiology after completion of a standard clinical stroke work-up.

There has not been a prospective, randomized controlled trial of colchicine to reduce post-AF ablation pericarditis in an era of newer AF ablation techniques. The hypothesis is that an empiric pre and post AF ablation treatment protocol with colchicine may reduce the incidence and symptom severity of post-AF ablation related pericarditis. Thus, the goal of this study is to Identify the incidence of post-AF ablation related pericarditis in patients undergoing ablation via high power, short duration strategy (shorter total RF time, but increased stability due to steerable catheters and possible difference from resistive vs conductive heating). Identify potential differences in patients undergoing PVI only versus PVI + additional ablation Identify whether patients on who are already on anti-inflammatories such as ASA or statins have a lower incidence than those without Determine if an empiric treatment strategy with colchicine (for 7 days post ablation) reduces the incidence of post-operative AF

The proposed clinical study aims to validate the effectiveness of the WPM04 blood pressure monitor developed by Withings as a diagnostic tool for cardiovascular disorders. The detection of cardiovascular disorders is oriented along three axes, namely the measurement of blood pressure, the identification of rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation and the identification of heart murmur indicating valvular heart disease.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders and it is associated with a variety of symptoms leading to a considerable deterioration in quality of life. The Mental-AF trial is intended to inquire if an app-based mental training can reduce the occurrence of symptomatic AF episodes within the blanking period, i.e. the first three months after catheter ablation for AF.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of different doses of BIBR 1048, alone or in combination with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), as determined by the rates of bleeding and other adverse events. A secondary objective of this trial is to evaluate the anticoagulant effect of different doses of BIBR 1048, based on the reduction of plasma concentrations of D-dimer, a laboratory marker for activated coagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and to correlate bleeding and other events with pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data.
