Active clinical trials for "Atrial Fibrillation"

To demonstrate safety and effectiveness of nMARQ Catheter System [nMARQ] compared with THERMOCOOL® Navigational Family of catheters in treating subjects with drug-refractory symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Primary Objective: Demonstrate the efficacy of Dronedarone in preventing major cardiovascular events (stroke, systemic arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death) or unplanned cardiovascular hospitalization or death from any cause in patients with permanent Atrial Fibrillation [AF] and additional risk factors Secondary Objective: Demonstrate the efficacy of Dronedarone in preventing cardiovascular death This was an event-driven study where a common study end date [CSED] was to be determined by Steering Committee based on the number of events (stroke, systemic arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death).

This is a randomized controlled study of the Bard High Density Mesh Ablation System for treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. This study will determine if the HD Mesh Ablation System is as safe as and more effective than anti-arrhythmic drugs.

There is no study comparing safety/efficacy of externally vs internally cooled tip catheters in patients undergoing ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF). The primary objective is to compare safety and efficacy of externally irrigated-tip catheter versus internally irrigated-tip catheter in achieving long term electrical isolation (EI) of pulmonary veins (PV) in paroxysmalatrial fibrillation (pAF).

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of the Epicor LP Cardiac Ablation System for treating permanent atrial fibrillation during concomitant open chest and/or open heart surgery for one of more of the following procedures: mitral valve repair or replacement, aortic valve repair or replacement, tricuspid valve repair or replacement, coronary artery bypass surgery or patent foramen ovale (PFO closure).

Concomitant AF ablation with HIFU in patients with persistent or long standing persistent AF undergoing CABG will be superior in restoring SR, compared with patients with persistent or long standing persistent AF undergoing CABG treated with best medical treatment according to ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 guidelines and no AF ablation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a single intravenous infusion of K201 compared to placebo in a dose escalating manner on conversion to sinus rhythm, reduction of subject's symptom score, and safety.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of biventricular pacing over conventional right ventricular pacing in patients with persistent or permanent, symptomatic atrial fibrillation undergoing atrioventricular (AV) node ablation and permanent pacing therapy.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FlecIH-103 (flecainide acetate inhalation solution) compared with placebo in patients with recent-onset, symptomatic newly diagnosed or paroxysmal AF. Approximately 400 patients are expected to be enrolled in this study. Patients will be randomized 3:1 to receive FlecIH-103 at a total dose of up to 120 mg estimated total lung dose (eTLD) (n=300) or placebo inhalation solution (n=100). Randomization will be stratified by geographic region (US and ex-US) and duration of symptoms of the current AF episode (≥1 hour to ≤24 hours and >24 hours to ≤48 hours).

The study will analyze blood from volunteers to determine whether there is an underlying epigenetic cause of the inflammation of the heart associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and its progression with age. Confirming the regions of epigenetic elements associated with upregulation of the inflammatory genes will help the investigators in identifying target sites for developing future therapeutic interventions. The investigators propose to confirm the monocyte-cell type specific DNA methylation profile of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and determine the age-related and AF-related changes in DNA methylation and expression of NLRP3 in monocytes. This study will provide insights into the epigenetic regulation of NLRP3 in young and elderly patients, as well as in AF patients vs. controls which will help in devising methods of modulating NLRP3 expression and decreasing cardiac fibrosis progression.
