Summary: Catheter ablation with pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is a commonly performed strategy employed for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The conventional approach for post-procedure care has been for the patient to stay overnight and be discharged the next day. However, the overall incidence of procedure related complications of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in high volume centers is l...

Summary: The main purpose of this pilot project is to measure the feasibility of conducting a randomized crossover study examining short-term changes in atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms in symptomatic females and males with persistent AF when they engage in a standard week of exercise (i.e. moderate-intensity continuous training [MICT] or high-intensity interval training [HIIT]) compared to a control week...

Summary: This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG)-based screening tool for improving the diagnosis and management of Atrial Fibrillation.

Summary: Being the most common arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF) is a high burden of public health with an increasing prevalence in our aging population. Interventional treatment of atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation is one of the treatment pillars in the complex field of better symptom control based on current Guidelines. Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is based on electrical isolation o...

Summary: This observational prospective clinical investigation 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)

Summary: The aim of the present prospective, randomized single-centre study is to determine the utility of multimodal imaging in percutaneous left atrial appendage closure. The investigators are planning to examine the success rate, safety, operative burden and long-time outcome of the procedure after multimodal and standard preprocedural imaging. Multimodal procedural guidance and postoperative assessment...

Summary: This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label trial of subjects who develop atrial fibrillation after non-emergent cardiac surgery at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center (UKCMC). Patients will be randomized to receive either a conventional amiodarone dosing regimen (CDR) or a repeated amiodarone bolus dosing regimen (RBDR).

Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a pulsed field ablation system developed and manufactured by Hangzhou Dinova EP Technology Co., Ltd in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Summary: More than 25% of patients referred for diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) suffer from non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). In this particular setting, balancing between the prevention of thrombosis and the risk of bleeding remains challenging. Oral anticoagulation (OAC) prevents stroke and systemic embolism, but has n...

Summary: 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...

Summary: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common arrhythmia after cardiac surgery with incidences ranging from 20% to 40% with the consequence of increasing mortality, morbidity, and hospital length of stay, as well as increasing the costs to the health care system. To prevent POAF the use of beta-blockers is suggested by the EACTA and ESC guidelines. Despite the prophylactic use, the d...

Summary: Given both the increasing population impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the widespread consumption of coffee in society, determining an associated benefit or risk of coffee consumption on AF is of great clinical relevance. This pilot study will evaluate the effect of randomly assigning participants undergoing electrical cardioversion to coffee abstinence or coffee consumption over a 12 month p...
