What is atrial fibrillation (AFib)?Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib or AF, is one of the most common types of arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. They can cause your heart to beat too slowly, too fast, or in an irregular way.If you have AFib, your heart beats irregularly and sometimes much faster than normal. Also, your heart's upper and lower chambers do not work…

This prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) compared with conventional right ventricular (RV) pacing on the cumulative duration (total time) of atrial high-rate episodes (AH…
This is a prospective study to evaluate changes in exercise capacity and chronotropic response to exercise before and after beta-blocker dosage reduction in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
To validate the prognostic importance of the burden of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a prospectively designed hospital-based registry. To characterize those factors that contribute t…
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether pulsed field ablation (PFA) using the novel VOLT catheter is as safe and effective as conventional thermal ablation (radiofrequency or cryotherapy) for the treatment of atrial fibrilla…
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of the Vektor Computational ECG Mapping System (vMap®) with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), to using PVI alone, to treat Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in adults. Participants will have a 50/…
Scientific Background: In secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, detection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and subsequent anticoagulation therapy reduce the risk of recurrent stroke by approximately 60%. Prolonged electrocardiogram (ECG) m…
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the antiarrhythmic drug flecainide can be used as safely as standard rhythm-control drugs in people with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The study inclu…
This is a multicentre, prospective, randomised controlled study of 328 patients with non-paroxysmal AF (within 5 years of first diagnosis of AF) with recurrent atrial arrhythmias after first catheter ablation, randomly divided in a 1:1 rat…
