BLITZ Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial FibrillationManagement strategies for AF have made many advances over the last decade but there is still a great heterogeneity in the management of AF and it remains unclear how often clinicians adhere to current guidelines. A survey of an updated AF management would enable a timely assessment of implementation of current International guidelines, allow monitoring of early management of AF when a patients is admitted in a Emergency Room (ER) and Cardiology Unit.
FLorida Puerto Rico Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Study (FLiPER-AF)
Atrial FibrillationIn this study, FL-PR Stroke Registry will be used to determine novel data on disparities in stroke care and outcomes for patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in 'real life' hospital setting. Investigators will evaluate clinical practice for AF detection and treatment in stroke patients within large stroke hospital systems of care with multi-ethnic patient populations and thereby representative of the states of Florida and Puerto Rico. The results of this study will be of critical importance for secondary stroke prevention by identifying gaps in stroke care for patients with AF and by recognizing the needs for developing targeted interventions to reduce disparities in diverse populations of stroke patients with AF and improve systems of care for all stroke patients with AF.
Echocardiographic Risk Factors of Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial FibrillationStrokeThe goal is to review patients with known atrial fibrillation who suffered a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) to incorporate any structural heart abnormalities into the overall clinical picture. A better understanding of the additional risk of a stroke or TIA in patients with specific structural abnormalities may be beneficial in guiding future treatment decisions.
The Jordan Atrial Fibrillation Study: Baseline Risk Scores and One Year Outcome
Atrial FibrillationThe Jordanian AF study, the first of its kind in Jordan, will evaluate patients with AF in an in-patient and out-patient settings. The morbidity and mortality associated with AF has not been studied in this region especially with the relation to the HAD BLED and CHADS VAC score.
Oral Anticoagulant Discontinuation, Adherence Patterns, Hospitalizations and Costs in Non-Valvular...
Atrial FibrillationTo describe the rate of discontinuation among Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF) patients who were on warfarin and have switched to the Novel oral anticoagulants(NOACs).
Replication Of An Early Evaluation Of 30-Day Readmissions Among Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation...
Atrial FibrillationThe overall objective of this proposal is to execute a real-world database analysis to evaluate hospital readmissions among hospitalized nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients in the U.S.
Clinical and Economic Burden of Bleeding Events in Patients in the UK With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation...
Atrial FibrillationThe purpose of the study is to estimate the impact of bleeding events in patients in the UK with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKA).
Exploratory Study of Apple Watch Electrocardiographic Diagnostic Performance Enhanced by an Artificial...
Atrial FibrillationThis observational exploratory prospective study will evaluate the performance on an Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution interpreting ECG (electrocardiogram) collected from an Apple Watch (AI-AW) in the detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
HERA AFIb Registry for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial FibrillationThe single-center HERA AFIb registry was created to assess real-world prevalence, demographic characteristics and management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in the era of novel oral anticoagulant regimes (NOAC) presenting in the emergency department (ED) of University of Heidelberg
Identification of Immunomodulators Associated With Atrial Fibrillation Reporting: Analysis of the...
Atrial FibrillationAtrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia worldwide with a great morbimortality. Some populations are more at risk to develop atrial fibrillation like patients suffering from inflammatory diseases or patients suffering from cancers. This is at least explained by the inflammatory environment related to these both conditions. Many experimental studies and clinical studies support the role of inflammation and immunity in atrial fibrillation genesis by modulating atrial action potential et by promoting fibrosis. Immunomodulators are drugs used to stimulate or inhibit the immune system for two main indications : cancers and immune disorder diseases which both promote atrial fibrillation. Due to their interactions with inflammation and immunity, immunomodulatores may further promote the risk of atrial fibrillation, particularly in a population already at risk. Based on the World Health Organization global database, the main objective of this study is to investigate the association between immunomodulators and the occurrence of atrial fibrillation reported in the database. A disproportionality analysis will be performed. It will aim to assess whether immunomodulators are associated with a greater risk of atrial fibrillation. Secondary objectives aim to describe the cases of atrial fibrillation among immunomodulators associated with atrial fibrillation in the main analysis, to describe coprescription among immunomodulators associated with atrial fibrillation in the main analysis, to analyse the role of immunomoduloators medical indication in the overrisk of atrial fibrillation, and to try to highlight some immune mechanisms promoting atrial fibrillation regarding the immunomodulators associated with atrial fibrillation in the main analysis.
