Active clinical trials for "Atrial Fibrillation"

The purpose of this study is to look for a similarity in people's genes that may help understand which people could benefit from certain drugs for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF).

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of the CorMatrix ECM for Pericardial Closure to reduce the incidence of new onset postoperative atrial fibrillation by circumferentially reconstructing the normal pericardial anatomy following isolated, first-time, CABG procedures compared to subjects that do not undergo pericardial closure. This trial will be conducted at up to 20 clinical sites in the U.S.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vitamin C is effective in the prophylaxis of post-operative atrial fibrillation in on-pump cardiac surgery

The primary objective was to evaluate the safety of dabigatran etexilate(BIBR 1048) administered orally at doses of 110 and 150 mg, twice daily, for 12 weeks in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal, persistent or permanent) in comparison with warfarin.

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm problem that can be eliminated by a radiofrequency ablation procedure. The purpose of this study is to assess the amount of AF that occurs before and after an ablation procedure associated with symptoms versus AF that is not associated with any symptoms. This study will confirm whether patients' symptoms or lack of symptoms post-ablation correlate well with actual episodes of Atrial Fibrillation. This is important information for physicians to know as it will help guide patient care post-ablation in the future. Information on patients' AF episodes will be collected by an implantable loop recorder (ILR) which will be implanted in all study patients 3 months prior to their AF ablation procedure. The ILR will automatically collect information on detected AF episodes while patients will records any symptoms related to AF episodes in study diaries.

The study is a national multicenter prospective observational study, including 200 patients. The main purpose of this study is to explore in more detail the influence of genetic variability (CYP enzymes and vitamin K dependent proteins) and dietary vitamin K status on warfarin dosing, clinical effect and adverse events with emphasis on the initial phase of treatment. The hypothesis is that genetic variability concerning CYP enzymes and vitamin K dependent proteins predict dosing and adverse events during warfarin treatment. The main aim is to individualize warfarin therapy and establish a treatment algorithm based on genotype and dietary vitamin K status to make the anticoagulation therapy with warfarin more secure.

This study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy profile, in two different dose regimens of Edoxaban (DU-176b), (an investigational new drug being tested for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolic events (SEE)), in individuals with atrial fibrillation. Patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: High Dose Regimen, Low Dose Regimen, & Warfarin. The expected duration of the study is 24 months.

The study is a prospective multi-centre study to investigate the effect of a new bipolar ablation strategy of the left atrium in patients with paroxysmal or permanent atrial fibrillation over time.

Postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common complication stemming from coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and is associated with increased early and late mortality risk. Standard guidelines recommend β blockers for the prevention of AF; however, no prospective study has compared the relative efficacy of β-blocking agents. We hypothesize that carvedilol, a non-selective adrenergic blocker with both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, is more effective than metoprolol, a conventional β1-selective antagonist, in suppressing new-onset AF following off-pump coronary bypass surgery. We have designed the Carvedilol or Metoprolol Post-Revascularization Atrial Fibrillation Controlled Trial (COMPACT) to test our hypothesis in a multi-center, open-label, and randomized controlled trial.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AZD0837 in patients with atrial fibrillation who are unable or unwilling to take vitamin K antagonist therapy for up to 3 months.
