Summary: In this pilot and feasibility study, the investigators will enroll patients with frequent symptomatic episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a cross-over study testing two different classes of anti arrhythmic drugs (AADs). This pilot and feasibility study will provide preliminary data for a larger study in which the investigators will test the hypothesis that a common AF genetic risk allele modul...

Summary: FLECAPRO is a randomized controlled crossover trial assessing the effect and safety of adding flecainide to standard beta-blocker therapy to reduce the burden of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse. The primary endpoint of will be assessed using an implantable loop recorder with blinded endpoint adjudication.

Summary: The UNIFLECA study is a prospective, single-arm, observational cohort evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of flecainide (in the form of Sanocard) in adults with frequent idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and suspected PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PVCi-CMP). Frequent PVCs-defined as a burden \>5% on two separate 24-hour Holter recordings-are increasingly recognized a...

Summary: Current guidelines for the cardioversion of paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation at the Emergency Department do not prioritize between antiarrhythmic agents and do not consider the time taken for successful cardioversion. Furthermore, the use of flecainide -a class 1C antiarrhythmic agent- is contraindicated for the cardioversion of patients with revascularized coronary artery disease, as well as patien...

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of left bundle branch area pacing combined with atrioventricular node ablation and pharmacologic treatment optimized according to guidelines in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to drug therapy or catheter ablation.

Summary: Therapeutic management of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is based either on heart rate control or on rhythm control, a strategy which aims to maintain a normal heart rhythm. The benefit in terms of morbidity and mortality of a normal heart rhythm would, however, be largely offset by the frequent side effects of antiarrhythmic drugs which could even lead to an increase in mortality compared to rate contr...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation on cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Participants will be randomized into antiarrhythmic drugs alone or atrial fibrillation ablation + antiarrhythmic drugs.

Summary: The AFFELECT -study compares two types of treatment modalities for acute atrial fibrillation or flutter for patients in whom rhythm control is desirable. The main purpose is to observe if these arrhythmias can be safely treated electively (within 5-9 days). All patients are recruited in the emergency department. Patients must be in good clinical condition so that they can be discharged regardless ...
