Study Summary

This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of using an ILR to identify the incidence of recurrent AF after an episode of newly diagnosed AF. The study further aims to assess the risk of AF recurrence in this low risk population based on left atrial and left atrial appendage anatomic and functional indices in addition to the standardized clinical CHA2DS2-Vasc score.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  1. Age ≥ 18 years

  2. Newly diagnosed AF

  3. Patient or legal guardian is willing and able to provide informed written consent andcomply with follow-up visits and testing schedule

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient is participating in or plans to participate in any other investigational drugor device clinical trial that has not reached its primary endpoint

  2. Patient received an organ transplant, or is on a waiting list.

Study Description

There is a significant incidence of recurrent AF following initial diagnosis of AF.

Inclusion of left atrial (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) abnormalities together with risk prediction of CVA using CHA2DS2-Vasc score will identify patients at low or high risk for adverse cardiovascular events in patients with manifest and silent AF.

Patients requiring cardioversion have higher risk of recurrent AF in follow up.
